At the Steyr City Cinema, Stefan Brandmayer doesn’t just design the program. The cineaste and his wife Karina sell the tickets at the box office, turn on the projector and sweep the popcorn from the upholstered seats after the screenings. The family business not only brings blockbusters from the satellite dish to the cinema screen, Brandmayer has also made it a priority to offer arthouse cinema with quality films since 2011, when he took over the “City Cinema” in the city center. He has thus made a good name for himself among the relevant film distribution companies.
Director Adrian Goiginger, who previewed his multi-award-winning film “The Fox” with the Steyr cinema audience two years ago, will be a guest again in a hall of the City Cinema on Monday, January 15th for the preview. The musical drama with “Voodoo Jürgens” David Öllerer in the lead role will be shown at 8 p.m., five days before the official cinema release and four days before it reaches the cinema in Vienna, the location of the action. “The ‘province’ no longer exists for film distribution,” says Brandmayer happily. “It’s nice that we’re getting more and more frequent previews here in the region.” Goiginger will be a little stressed about travel on his promotional tour. Because on Monday at 6:30 p.m. “Rickerl” will be shown in the presence of the Salzburg filmmaker in the cinema in Kirchdorf, which Brandmayer’s father Gerald Schmidlehner runs. “We have been working together for years,” says Brandmayer, “I probably got my passion for cinema from him.”
Goiginger will willingly tell the film fans in Steyr and Kirchdorf about the events behind the scenes on the set, for example how he prepared the songwriter Voodoo Jürgens for a film-worthy brawl in front of the camera, in which he received a punch in the jaw that was deceptively realistic. There will also be a lot to philosophize with the director about the background of the plot – a highly talented musician who, separated from his son’s mother, can’t achieve anything in his private life or in his career.
In any case, cinema attendance has recovered after the setback caused by the corona pandemic. “Thank God the audience has returned,” says Brandmayer.
