DIE BAULICHE MASSNAHME
Austria 2018 – Director: Nikolaus Geyrhalter – Original language: German – Subtitles: English – Length: 112 min.
The Brenner border crossing: in Spring 2016, politicians take measures to prevent more refugees from arriving in Austria. A fence is being discussed and border controls between North and South Tirol are to be reintroduced for the first time in twenty years. Many in the Tirol border region are not fond of the “structural measures,” but others are sensitive to the supposed threat of their homeland being “overwhelmed by foreigners". Ludwig Sporrer
