In line with the screening of "Monday, August 28th 1939, New York, 10 p.m.", an episode of the prize-winning film "SHIRLEY – Visions of reality" by Gustav Deutsch, a talk with film producer Gabriele Kranzelbinder (b.1968 in Klagenfurt, lives in Vienna) will take place at Künstlerhaus, Halle für Kunst & Medien.

For Kranzelbinder who sees herself in this context as a sort of midwife, film production means an important contribution to society's cultural development. She originally studied law and got into the film business only by accident. Starting 1994, she organized film-, theater- and art projects and worked as an assistant director and production assistant. In 2001, she co-founded the production company Amour Fou, and meanwhile since 2007, is owner of Vienna-based KGP Kranzelbinder Gabriele Productions. Kranzlbinder’s interest lies in European ‘film d’auteur’ and international coproductions. The producer of numerous motion pictures, documentaries and experimental films appreciates a close relations to the authors. In the film production business which is said to be dominated by men, Kranzelbinder is one of the few women who succeeded. With "SHIRLEY – Visions of Reality", an interdisciplinary project on the border between art and film, Kranzelbinder once more proves her dedication to experimental approaches.
