«VIENNA CALLING shows unknown facets of Viennese culture away from the mainstream. The result is an electrifying and poetic approach to the music and cultural scene of a European metropolis, where the current developments and conflicts of our time take place.

VIENNA CALLING is not a music documentary in the classical sense and certainly not an Austropop history lesson, but an entertaining docu-musical. The protagonists of the film – including Der Nino aus Wien, Lydia Haider and Voodoo Jürgens – visibly enjoy playing. VIENNA CALLING offers them another cinematic stage, which they take with joy and perform with a lot of Viennese “Schmäh“.»
