Our precious team
Dávid Gajdos
Our Co-Editor-in-Chief
Lives and dies for music. Be it Bach, Tchaikovsky, some forgotten Italian cantautore or Paul Simon: he loves them all. Just please, please, no autotune...
Alexandra Timofeeva
Another Co-Editor-in-Chief
Thinks that filming depressive movies and drinking wine give her that exact Russian immigrant spirit. Will get confused if asked what her favorite artwork is because..well..no idea…
Aliza Peisker
Our Art editor
Sees museums & exhibitions as both a safe space and a space for challenge. Thinks that the process of making art is more important than the result.
Lara Cortellini
Our Theatre editor
Enthusiast of all things performance, but especially searching for theatre outside of nepo baby realm. Will also very much want to hear about your weird gardening hobby.
Anton Schroeder
Our Film editor
Since his enrolment in Theater, Film and Media Studies, Anton has primarily focused on eating Parmesan cheese. During breaks, he sometimes ends up in the cinema.
Stefan Filipov
Our Popular Music editor
Regards listening to music not as a background activity, but as a deliberate action. Also never skips a song if it has already started playing, rather turning the volume down until it has slowly faded away.
Yannik Barth
Our Literature editor
Thinks that art school makes you a better painter but philosophy makes you a better artist.
Oğulcan Korkmaz
Our ex Film editor
German-Turkish Film Student in search of the lost homeland in international cinema. When the romcoms become too much, a horror film serves to cool down.
Alisa Guberman
Our ex Theatre editor
Introverted old soul, but looks like the bad kid in school. She’s always looking for stories that explain and capture life, which is why she chose theatre as her subject of investigation.
Dominik Schwaab
German student of theatre-, film- and media studies with an (un)healthy cinema obsession. Will enjoy anything from Godard to the newest Adam Sandler flick.
Leah Meister
Tries to live up to her name by mastering two studies at once. But knows that succeeding at everything is impossible, as shown by the attempt of learning italian for three years.
Sina Albers
Loves everything from Francis Bacon to Aerosmith. Hates everything about public swimming pools and wasabi. Mentally still stuck in Rome, so now she's gazing at Corinthian columns in Vienna.
Bernhard Mairitsch
A Carinthian in Vienna, far from home. The love for movies led him to the Danube metropolis where he shares his expertise on the world of films on various platforms.
Sebastian Kranner
Progressive stage director. Lives life as if every moment would be a theatrical scene. Loves „Boo-Bravo“-fights after the performance. Provocation is the way to keep theatre alive.
Hannah Kandinsky
Disappointing for art lovers due to promising name but unpleasant drawing skills. Often torn between romantiscism and cynicism. Music student and string quartet junkie.
Linus Ywain Brandstätter
Driven by an insatiable hunger for culture, be it cinema, theatre, art, or literature, he has made it his life‘s task to accumulate as much knowledge about it as possible. So far, he hasn’t given up.
Miriam Löber
Knows the difference between different kinds of organ pipes, does not know the difference between rap and hiphop. The other way around would be worse though.
Lorenz Mariotti
Half-Italian but born & raised in Vienna. If he doesn’t answer the phone, he’s probably in Musikverein, Konzerthaus or at the Opera.
Nicolas Faber
Invented the colourful Schlabberhemd over turtleneck outfit and is just as creative in writing as he is in his looks. Works in a music business and has no time to write.
Viktoria Weber
Loves exhibitions, analyzing narratives, and working collaboratively. Most of the time just thinks about either fashion week or classism.
Jördis Beulich
Prefers to write about art, rather than about herself. Loves art for showing her feelings she never felt before and thoughts she never thought before.
Stephanie Madeleine Grechenig
Has an irrational fear of pigeons and overlooks the fact that Bukowski was mostly drunk and way too depressed.
Tara Luger
Theatre and film student looking for creative outlets for bizarre ideas. Loves when art is self-reflective and doesn’t take itself too seriously, just like herself.
Lucie Mohme
Lucie came to Vienna for the theatre culture and is always intrigued to watch a Wildean play. She runs on coffee and cinnamon rolls.
Jana Zimmerman
Always in the gap between the classic and the pop culture. She loves concerts and the social aspects of all sorts of arts. But one thing is sure: music was her first love (and it will be her last)!
Flora Marie Schöntaube
As a constructive pessimist, she looks for the little things in life ...
that bother her.
She is into art as well as literature and doesn't want to choose one. Beide sind so nett.
Katarina Stur
Thinks that art criticism can be read like confessions sometimes. Finds any inclusion of Dagobert Duck in artworks nauseating. Thinks curators have a lot in common with collage artists. Would put tajin on everything if she could.
Philipp Kaiser
Moviebuff, whose movietaste is somewhere between "Die fabelhafte Welt der Amelie" and "Funny Games". Thinks that every piece of art is smarter than its creator.
Christoph Brodnjak
Finds the balance between being one of those people who write in a coffeehouse and not being a walking cliché by procrastinating in said coffeehouse, or watching obscure seventies films instead.
Alion Caci
Albanian Vienna-based screenwriter and Film Student who loves movies more than Millennials love tracking their online orders.
Lena Kerschbaummayr
Floats around between film-sets, festivals, and photography after her study in filmproduction. You‘ll never know which country she‘s currently in.
Clarissa Donati
Journalism and comparative literature student. Always carries a book around, sometimes two. Drinks about 1l of tea daily and spends too much money on concert tickets.
Malina Bianca Curpan
Mom always told her not to wear black and now she finds herself writing in colors.
Adel Ermak
Has a big passion for (queer) theatre film and media science, spending most of her time at the theatre or getting on her neighbours’ nerves while singing her soul out.
Francesca Valentin
Passionate about cows, Maultauschen and theatre. A (not too) small part of her brain is reserved for gossip about Hollywood celebrities and music by Beyoncé. Prefers to live and write from her bed.
Mary Penz-Scharf
Bloodtype: coffee, DNA: delicous food. Has spent her teenage years with reading instead of partying. Therefore knows nothing about alcohl but can name every Game of Thrones charcter. Still she likes a nice Gin-Tonic.
Julia Reischl
Studying Theatre-, Film- and Media Studies. Lover of all things cinema and British Television (aka Doctor Who). Can always be found at work, at the cinema and on Letterboxd
Andrej Haring
Thinks storytelling is lying with benefits. The subject of his first film at filmschool was a well crafted sandwich. Strangely enough, he’s not expelled yet.
