Ruth Beckermann was one of the activists who wanted to prevent former UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim from being elected President of Austria. Armed with camera and microphone, she endeavoured to enter the depths of the Austrian soul. More than 30 years on, she uses her own pictures and extensive archive material to analyse this turning point in post-war history: the collapse of the lie that Austria was Nazi Germany\u2019s first victim. <strong>Waldheim\u2019s Waltz<\/strong> demonstrates the mechanisms of rabble-rousing \u2013 then and now.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbIn <strong>Waldheim\u2019s Waltz<\/strong>, I work exclusively with archive material which I look at and analyse today. [&#8230;] I think you can talk much better about the present day based on a film that remains historical than with a film that interviews the protagonists of that time who indulge in their memories as old men. I consciously say \u203amen\u2039 because it\u2019s a film in which only men appear. That\u2019s another thing that would be different today. The protagonists are all fathers and sons. [&#8230;]<br \/>\nIt was not my intention at all for <strong>Waldheim\u2019s Waltz<\/strong> to gain such political relevance from an Austrian or an international perspective. I\u2019d prefer it if the political situation were a different one. But in the light of fake news, I see this film as a manifestation of the fact that such documentaries [&#8230;.] must be shown in cinemas in order to offer people a place where they can come together and discuss what\u2019s going on today. Analytical films have their relevance. Today perhaps more than in the last few decades.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Ruth Beckermann<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aThe Waldheim Waltz\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nGlashu\u0308tte Documentary Award \u2013 Berlinale 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":21283,"template":"","movie_year":[23],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[279],"festival":[306],"class_list":["post-7508","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-23","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-panorama-en-2018","festival-2018-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Waldheim Waltz - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/waldheims-walzer\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Waldheim Waltz - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00bbNo to Waldheim, no to Waldheim!\u00ab chants a crowd of people in the centre of Vienna in 1986.
