There must be a documentary by Oliver Stangl and Christian Tod about the alternative music scene in Linz from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. The film opened the Crossing Europe film festival on April 20, 2010, and the film premiere took place on January 14, 2011 in the distribution of the Filmladen , which also released the work in its DVD edition (together with radio station FM4 ).
action
“There must be something” is based on the interview book of the same name by Andreas Kump. In interviews, 25 musicians and contemporary witnesses recall the time when a lively musical subculture scene emerged in the Upper Austrian capital Linz. Along with the founding of cultural centers and event locations such as Stadtwerkstatt or Kapu , stylistically very different bands such as Attwenger , Texta , Fuckhead or Willi Warma were founded. Archive material shows concert excerpts that include music styles such as punk , hardcore punk , hip-hop , new folk music or industrial . In the interviews it becomes clear how important subculture was for the youth of the province, and topics such as the social relevance of this movement and its commercialization are reflected on.
style
The film dispenses with any off-screen commentary. The protagonists are presented in tableaus that allow insight into their lives and their statements are assembled into a narrative flow interspersed with archive material. The interviews clearly outweigh the archive material, with memories being the focus. The events described are presented in chronological order: the film begins at the end of the 1970s, when there was hardly any cultural offer for the youth in the city, further describes the emergence of autonomous centers under the influence of punk and hardcore in the 1980s and finally the emerging Commercialization in the early 1990s. The film ends with an inventory of the current situation.
Reviews
The film received mostly positive reviews at both its theatrical release and DVD release.
“Fuckhead” mastermind Didi Bruckmayr says at the end: “It was all youthful jokes.” Seeing those in the cinema is a folk festival for those who allowed themselves this fun, but fortunately it is also worthwhile for those who didn't play back then were allowed. "
"A great piece of contemporary history."
"The most intelligent and best film documentary about the local music scene that has ever been shot in this country."
"This necessary and overdue document - a missing link in Austrian pop culture history - brings protagonists of the Linz underground to the curtain."
“The traces that this time has left are clearly visible in There must be something, not just the physical, especially the spiritual, the political: opinions, attitudes, life plans, confusion and sentimentality. The latter, and that is one of the strengths of this film, remain relatively subtle. Confidently balanced There has to be something between analysis and anecdotal collection, finding the fine line between heroic sagas and evocation of the zeitgeist. "
