Jetzt oder morgen (Now or Tomorrow)

Lisa Weber's portrait of an unemployed teenage mother and her family in Vienna is godsend of a documentary. Forgoing dramatic tropes of mainstream film and TV, she shows a life in small moments where the passing of time is mostly felt through birthdays, and a family who is equal parts supportive and inconsiderate. The director does not take refuge in the role of a distanced observer, but partakes in the situation, creating an extremely intimate film not about, but with the people in front of the camera.

The screening (89 min) will be followed by a discussion with director Lisa Weber.
