An Austrian woman, whose years in Israel have an important impact on her life. Five friends, who couldn't be more different in life experience and view of the world and who are connected only by their friendship with Birgitta.
From Muhammad, in Palestinan resistance since his childhood, to Noah, holocaust survivor and conservative Zionist. A meeting, a “naive” plan - “Birgitta's Friends”,
a documentary film by Christian Kogler (E-Mail).
On 09.04.2024 at 19:30 in DAS KINO Salzburg.
80 secondary school students from Steyr saw „Birgitta’s Friends“ in a special screening on April 27th. Great film talk afterwards!
A statement from one of the teachers via the contact form:
Vielen Dank für diesen außergewöhnlichen Film Birgitta's Friends! Ich bereise Israel immer wieder, wohl in der Hoffnung, dass sich dieser „Knoten, den man im Kopf hat”, sich einmal löst. All diese Narrative zu zeigen, ohne zu werten und auch das Scheitern einzugestehen...wirklich stark. Auch für meine SchülerInnen. Vielen Dank!
There is a full episode of the film-podcast with interesting facts about “Birgitta's Friends”.
Also available on Apple Podcast and Spotify.
Thank you, Filmfestival Freistadt, for letting us being part in your great event!
We are very happy about the great success of the world premiere of “Birgitta's Friends” at the Crossing Europe Film Festival! The audience in a full house obviously enjoyed our film and we had an exiting and engaging film talk afterwards. Thank you Crossing Europe for this great opportunity!
