73rd Venice International Film Festival 2016
World premiere of Ulrich Seidls film SAFARI
We are pleased to announce that Ulrich Seidl's new film SAFARI will celebrate its world premiere at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, 2016. After "In the Basement" and "Goodnight Mommy”, this is the seventh film in a row produced by Ulrich Seidl Films to have its world premiere at one of the three major European film festivals. The film looks at German and Austrian hunting tourists who travel on vacation to Africa, where bushbucks, impalas, zebras, gnus and other creatures roam by the thousands. They drive through the bush, lie in wait, stalk their prey. Then they shoot them, sob with excitement and pose alongside the game they've bagged. It is a vacation movie about killing, a film about human nature. With Safari I wasn't interested in showing the wealthy, the aristocrats, the sheikhs and the oligarchs hunting big game in Africa, but rather the normal, the ordinary hunter. For many years now, hunting in Africa has been affordable for the average citizen of the west. My goal was to discover and show what motivates such people to hunt, and why they can even become obsessed by it. But along the way the film also became a film about killing. About killing for pleasure without ever facing danger, about killing as a kind of emotional liberation. - Ulrich Seidl Credits Austria 2016, 90 min Director: Ulrich Seidl | Idea and Concept: Ulrich Seidl, Veronika Franz | Camera: Wolfgang Thaler | Additional camera: Jerzy Palacz | Sound: Paul Oberle | Editor: Christof Schertenleib | Additional editor: Christoph Brunner, Andrea Wagner | Production manager: Louis Oellerer | Artistic collaboration: Veronika Franz | Co-producer: Sigrid Jonsson Dyekjaer | Producer: Ulrich Seidl | Cast: Gerald Eichinger, Eva Hofmann, Manuel Eichinger,
