After the “Linz ist Linz” video last year because of the caused quite a stir with a satirically exaggerated, critical view of the steel city, the city’s new commercial was eagerly awaited. On Wednesday evening, the video was presented to a small group – and found to be good, the short film has been shown in selected cinemas since Thursday and is now also freely available to everyone on YouTube since Saturday evening.
“Kroquettes instead of rockets”
This time, the director duo Sinisa Vidovic (Forafilm) and Dinko Draganovic tells the story of two American astronauts who turn around on their way to Mars to land in Linz. There is great excitement about the upcoming rocket landing, which in many small sequences – from the grumpy farmer cutting his spaghetti with scissors to the angry pack of demonstrators chanting “croquettes instead of rockets” – with subtle irony, tongue-in-cheek and delicious characters.
But what moves the astronauts, who should have been the first people on Mars, to abandon their mission and land in Linz of all places? Let me tell you one thing: it’s the little things. And above all, it is a popular, edible souvenir, the origin of which dates back to the year 1653 dating back. But see for yourself – the full-length video:

Of course, “Planet Linz” is not a polarizing excitement like its predecessor, but a successful commercial that critically deals with issues such as environmental pollution and the quick excitement of people, while again drawing a casual image of Linz with many guys from the city.
