Langsamer Sommer & Schwitzkasten (Cook) (2DVD)

John Cook (1935-2001) was, in his own words, "Viennese by choice". Between 1972 and 1982 the Canadian photographer directed four films (three features and a documentary) which hold a unique position in Austrian Cinema: independently produced, featuring a cast and crew of friends and shot on modest budgets.

This 2DVD set presents restored versions of Cooks three landmark films produced in the 1970s, as well as extra material.
