MICHAEL GLAWOGGER on TRAVELLING

His feature films deal with journeys and trips, his documentaries wouldn't be possible without travels. Director and documentarist Michael Glawogger spoke to us about the close relationship of cinema and travelling and explained why he personally needs to move on all the time - and why he hates travel guides. 

MICHAEL GLAWOGGER über DAS REISEN

Seine Spielfilme thematisieren das Reisen, seine Dokumentarfilme begeben sich selbst auf Reisen. Mit uns hat der Regisseur und Dokumentarist Michael Glawogger über die enge Verbindung von Kino und Reisen gesprochen und erklärt, warum er selbst immer weiterziehen muss - und warum er Reiseführer hasst.
