PGH CityPaper has our film “Die Gstettensaga” as one of their recommendations of the week!
Underground accolades accompany Die Gstettensaga: The Rise of Echsenfriedl, a 2014 indie horror flick from Austria getting its local premiere. The darkly comic film is set in the aftermath of apocalyptic warfare between superpowers China and … Google, as a journalist and a technician traverse the hinterlands to find a legendary character. The festival favorite won Best Narrative Feature at Colorado’s Maker Film Festival, and critic Cory Doctorow calls writer-director Johannes Grenzfurthner “a brilliant lunatic of surpassing and delightful weirdness.” Meet Grenzfurthner at the Q&A after tonight’s free, VIA-sponsored screening at Melwood Screening Room. BO 7:30 p.m. 477 Melwood Ave., Oakland. Free (18 and over)
