Paul und Bataar PAUL AND BATAAR Paul has lived all over the world, but he hasn’t really seen much of it. His father is a diplomat. But since Paul’s mother died, his father has become rather introverted and is not really interested in much. At the moment, the family, which also includes Paul’s little sister, lives in Mongolia. One day Paul breaks out of his pampered home. What he is really after is his father’s attention, and what he gets is a great adventure. Paul befriends Bataar, who has also run away from his difficult nomad existence. Together, the two observe a gang of thieves and while on the chase after them not only do they get to know the en - tire country but also get into a heap of trouble. Then surprisingly they manage to outwit the gang and finally get the recognition they so dearly crave. With Bataar, Paul discovers a foreign culture, the vastness of the steppe, and the freedom that allows him to leave his disappointments behind.

Prater Vienna’s Prater is an amusement park and a desire ma - chine. No mechanical invention, no novel idea or sen - sational innovation could escape incorporation into the Prater. The diverse story-telling in Ulrike Ottinger’s film Prater transforms this place of sensations into a modern cinema of attractions. The Prater’s history from the be - ginning to the present is told by its protagonists and those who have documented it, including contemporary cinematic images of the Prater, interviews with carnies, commentary by Austrians and visitors from abroad, film quotes, and photogr aphic and written documentary materials. The meaning of the Prater, its status as a place of technological innovation, and its role as a cultural medium are reflected in texts by Elfriede Jelinek, Josef von Sternberg, Erich Kaestner and Elias Canetti, as well as in music devoted to this amusement venue throughout the course of its history.
