"Sometimes the things that never happen
have just as big of an influence."
"Cainné Angste" is is a creative word play
in faux French, which translates best to
„Keine Angst“ or „Don’t you fear“ in English.
„One Second Of Sehnsucht“ deals with our
creative protagonist’s future, that actually
didn’t happen. Starting in the mid-nineties,
Dian continuously dreamt about a life in
New York City. But, all that wasn’t meant
to be. To this day, he never lived or worked
outside of Austria, and has never visited
New York City …
Surrounded by the confrontation with his
younger self(s), the film visualizes Dian’s
longing for long gone dreams and distant
influences along the path of life. The voice
recites his way of finding peace in
acceptance of life as an ongoing process.
Behind the Scenes
"This project really came together in a matter
of days and right from the beginning we made
the decision to go with 35mm. We wanted this
film to feel real and authentic. It is crucial to
feel all the little imperfections and happy
accidents not only needed to be a part but to
carry the film’s metaphors. This humane and
honest feeling can only be captured on celluloid.
We limited ourselves to only use a maximum of
3 rolls. So we really picked our shots carefully.“
