From Calle Fuhr, in cooperation with DOSSIER

With THE EDITORIAL Calle Fuhr has written a Hollywood-worthy thriller: we follow a team of journalists who uncover a major scandal. Based on true events around the journalist collective DOSSIER, Calle Fuhr leads us into the machinations of the environmentally destructive corporation (OMV), which uses taxpayers’ money to support corruption, washes its hands of the matter by subsidizing high cultural institutions, and undermines the freedom of press through targeted advertising policies and bullying.

According to the legend, a dragon named Gincho is responsible for the disappearance of young women in the Bulgarian mountain village of Pirin. Almost only old people still live there without a doctor or priest, whose many empty houses are gradually being swallowed up by nature. But the committed mayor has not given up faith in the future. He wants to turn Pirin into a tourist attraction – and is trying to find a girlfriend on the Internet along the way. (Filmfestival Max Ophüls Preis 2022)
