Egon Humer (director, screenwriter)

Austria: Weiener Filmfinanzierungsfonds [WFF], 1996. Original A1 poster for the 1996 Austrian film. The film focuses on a handful of specific Viennese emigres, one of whom is noted film historian Amos Vogel, from whose collection this poster comes. Full provenance available.

A documentary in which director Egon Humer visits twelve New Yorkers, all former citizens of Austria who were driven by discriminatory decrees, laws, and open terror from their native land into exile. Among them were 130,000 other Austrians, mainly Jews, who had also been left with no other option than to flee between 1938 and 1941 when the National Socialists rose to power.

23.25 x 32.75 inches, rolled. A few short creases, and light edge rubbing. Very Good plus overall.
