Gute Nacht Österreich

Gute Nacht Österreich

Non-fiction • 2025
ORF 1

Synopsis

"I'm relieved," says Peter Klien happily. Since January 14, he's finally back on air with his show "Gute Nacht Österreich". "It was a tough year, but all the allegations vanished into thin air," says the satirist, who regularly referred to the presumption of innocence even before his show was discontinued...

What happened? Klien's weekly political satire was discontinued at the end of January 2021. Costs, content, expiring contracts - many reasons were cited in the media. Even then, exclusive surveys in Austria revealed: This country needs a man like Klien!
After the moderator's satirical immunity was lifted, the ORF entertainment committee was finally able to examine all allegations. The result: the value of political satire in public service broadcasting cannot be quantified in money. The conclusion of the entertainment committee: Peter Klien should be given confidence and expired contracts should be extended.
"Gute Nacht Österreich" has continued its success story since January 14th. Every Friday night, Peter Klien looks back on the events of the past week and tackles the politicians again with his dreaded microphone.

In collaboration with Talk TV.

Fiction • 2024
ORF

Synopsis

Proven suspense, surprising stories, gripping emotions, new locations in Upper Austria, even more local color and austrian wit: Behind the scenes, the final days of filming for the fourth season of “SOKO Linz” have begun. The ORF crime series presents itself in a familiar yet new way. In the ten episodes, the team around audience favorites Katharina Stemberger, Alexander Pschill, Miriam Hie and Damyan Andreev will be joined by new personalities - as Linz-born actress and comedian Angelika Niedetzky and former “SOKO Donau” inspector Michael Steinocher take up their duties. There is plenty for the newly formed team to do - from poisoned cakes and deadly artificial intelligence to killer cows and cases involving a tattoo studio, the entrance exam for medical school and a rowing club. Investigations take place in the Botanical Gardens, on the Schlossberg, in the Pöstlingberg grotto railroad and in St. Mary's Cathedral in Linz. And that's in addition to all the private challenges that the investigators have to face!

Singing and playing, guessing and knowing, feeling and quizzing! In 2023, celebrities and musical talents put all their efforts into the ORF 1 friday prime time show “Hier spielt die Musik”. In each show, hosted by Katharina Straßer and Lukas Schweighofer, three teams of two competed against each other and put their musical skills and knowledge to the test.

With the support of their respective fan blocks each karaoke challenge turns into a vocal fan curve. The musical talent of the winning team won a “Golden Ticket” - concert tickets for a whole year worth 1.500 €.

Synopsis

Cab driver Maggy (Daniela Golpashin) has all kinds of problems. A child in the hospital, another child on the way, a useless ex-husband and child's father, a yawningly empty bank account and a crack in the windshield. And just when she thought things couldn't get any crazier, fate throws her a curveball. She overhears on the police radio that a certain Juliette Koons (Caroline Peters) is missing. Moments later, Juliette hops into Maggy's cab carrying some seriously suspicious luggage. Juliette is a financial expert, and her suitcase contains embezzled money that she wants to donate to a good cause.
In doing so, she is fulfilling the last wish of the love of her life to change her life and renounce capitalism. The two women, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, mistrust each other but then grow closer. But with Juliette's ruthless boss (played by Barbara Gassner) hot on their trail, along with a corrupt ex-cop (expertly portrayed by Murathan Muslu) armed and dangerous, Maggy and Juliette find themselves thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse through the nocturnal streets of Vienna.

Dunkle Wasser – Landkrimi Salzburg

Fiction • 2022
ORF, ZDF, funded by Filmfonds Austria and the State of Salzburg

Synopsis

The body of a 17-year-old girl is pulled out of the lake “Mattsee”. Chief inspector Dorner (Christoph Luser), who grew up in the town with the same name, takes on the case. However, as he has attracted negative attention on duty several times following a traumatic experience, the young investigator Alex (Salka Weber) is assigned to him as a "watchdog". The case quickly becomes personal for Dorner: the dead woman is the daughter of his childhood friend. Alex is not very comfortable with Dorners closeness to the people involved, but it also has its advantages. One of the suspects is petty criminal Max Kozak (Thomas Mraz), who Dorner is convinced was the murderer in his very first case. However, this could never be proven. During an interrogation, a horrific incident occurs that calls everything into question. Dorner not only has to delve into his own past, but also deal with the dark history of Mattsee. And there are some things he is keeping secret from the increasingly suspicious Alex. But the truth will emerge from the dark waters of Mattsee ...

Curling für Eisenstadt

Curling für Eisenstadt

Fiction • 2018

Synopsis

Curling für Eisenstadt is a fast-paced sports comedy that’s as much about the quirks of curling as it is about the power of friendship.

Vicky (Katharina Straßer) is a spoiled woman who has always done well with her father's name - the influential winemaker Kapfensteiner (Wolfgang Böck). But when presenting the new winter advertising line of the agency she works for, she makes a mistake that not only leads to the loss of her job, but also to her dad's credit cards. Because at some point Vicki has to stand on her own two feet. And because it can't be that difficult, even the biggest challenge doesn't seem big enough. As a result, Vicki does everything in her power to set up a women's curling team in Eisenstadt, wins against the Kitzbühel state champions and thus establish Eisenstadt as the venue for the Women's Curling World Championships, which are to be held in Austria this time. But along the way, she not only has to learn that real achievement in life takes a lot of effort, but also that friendship is not a one-way street.

"Curling für Eisenstadt" (AT) is a production by Gebhardt Productions on behalf of ORF and MDR, funded by the cultural promotion of the state capital Eisenstadt.

Ready to Race: KTM goes MotoGP/Red Bull

Non-fiction • 2017

Synopsis

Racy beauty in orange as the main character. From the beginning of 2016 until the start of the 2017 World Championship in Qatar, a five-man film crew accompanied Red Bull KTM Factory Racing on its way to the premier class of motorcycle racing. "Ready to Race - KTM goes MotoGP" provides a fascinating look at the creation of the only steel trellis frame bike in MotoGP. The main actor is the new RC16 with around 270 hp and chassis components from the in-house specialist WP Suspension. Technology and tests are equally illuminated, as are pilots, test drivers and the team behind this ambitious project - the camera is closer to the action than ever before. The 45-minute documentary recalls milestones such as the emotional demonstration laps on the Red Bull Ring at the Austrian Motorbike Grand Prix in August 2016 and is just as close to the team presentation in Munderfing as it is to the first test drives in Brno or as a KTM to the season finale Went in a wildcard race in Valencia in 2016.

(Johannes Zeiler) and Helga Rauper (Kristina Bangert). And they have their hands full: missing people, drunk guys, a mysterious suicide and a hair-raising Bank robbery are the least of the evils. Because what the whole normal insanity tops it off is an incident in a Jewelry store where Santa Claus shoots the Christ Child. So the cops from Ottakring are more than busy until they can finally celebrate Christmas together late in the evening.

CopStories – Season 3

CopStories – Season 3

Fiction • 2014

Synopsis

A quick cup of coffee with colleagues in the local bar, and then the working day for the cops from Ottakring begins. The little brown one before starting work is a cherished ritual in a job where you can never really know in the morning what will happen in the evening. Sometimes it's just routine matters like grid squares or patrol duty that get the police involved. Sometimes it's the alleged noise pollution in the kindergarten, sometimes a strangely destroyed sausage stand or what is probably the strangest case of seed theft since Boris Becker. Diplomatic entanglements, street squats, cases of kidnapping and suicide threats from young people. From drunk teenagers to petty criminal pensioners, everything is there. But behind these supposed little things there are often dramas of unimagined proportions. Families are shaken, relationships questioned, deaths mourned.
