the augartenkino is one of the best cinemas in town. they show a lot of european, arthouse and independent movies. it is also one cinema of the austrian filmfestival diagonale, which will start on the 19th of march. let’s hope that this is not going to be the last diagonale with the augartenkino.

you can support the petition here (sorry, only in german). right now, already more than 8000 people signed it.

“Stencilboard” aims at building an online-community by collecting and discussing Stencils from all around the world.
“Stencils” are sprayed pictures in public areas, which are produced by using stencils. The site is exclusively dedicated to Stencil-Graffities, which are in general referred to as Stencils or Pochoirs.

the graz-section has already 26 entries. you also can view the graffitis via rss.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Ernest Kaltenegger play a similar role in Graz, although they come from diametral different political background. Most people in Graz respect Arnold and Ernest, and they have an image of a “friendly great-uncle”.

So what did Schwarzenegger give to the world?
# As an actor Schwarzenegger was responsible for great movies like Terminator I,II and III, Hercules in New York (1970) or Twins

# Schwarzenegger has been Mr. Universe, and is now the Gouvernor of California.

# As a politician, Schwarzenegger is responsible for the death of a lot of criminals, because he didn’t use his opportunity to amnesty them.

And what did Kaltenegger give to the world?
# Kaltenegger is the main reason, why in Graz the Communist Party has made it to more than 20 % of votes.

# Since 1998, Kaltenegger donates more than half of his salary for social purposes. Every week, people can visit Kaltenegger in his office and ask for some money. Charity begins at home, that’s his motto.

# Ernest has not been working as an actor, as far as I know, but a German director made a Film on the “Kaltenegger-phenomenon”: It’s called Der Kommunist.
