My family is an Austrian documentary from 2012 about the Friedrichshof municipality in Burgenland . Community ownership, free sexuality and the dissolution of the nuclear family were the basic principles of the commune founded by Otto Muehl in early 1970. The film, directed by Paul-Julien Robert , who was born in the municipality in 1979, was presented for the first time at the Viennale 2012.
background
In 1970 Otto Muehl founded a commune in his Viennese apartment, which gained notoriety beyond the art scene due to its radicalism. In 1972 the Communards acquired the last habitable house on an abandoned estate on the Parndorfer Heide - the Friedrichshof . Over the course of almost two decades, this was developed into the center of an international network of over 20 city groups. In the associated municipalities, over 600 people in Western Europe practiced a radical utopian life according to the principles: "Self-expression, shared property, free sexuality without permanent couple relationships, joint work and production, collective growing up and direct democracy".
After preliminary judicial investigations against Muehl had been initiated and many community members became increasingly dissatisfied, the entire property was brought into a cooperative at the end of the 1980s. In 1990 the communal life experiment broke up. Otto Muehl was convicted of fornication with minors in autumn 1991 . For the former communards organized in the cooperative today, it is important to deal with developments within the commune in a differentiated manner. The archive material, which had been banned for 20 years, was released for use in a film for the first time for my no family .

Reviews
“Paul is less the center of my no family than the starting point. He is serious about his search, and the fact that he is still suffering from the after-effects of growing up in the Mühl commune in his social life is immediately taken away from him. But this subjective impetus does not lead to a one-sided view of the collective project, because it also allows other voices to have their say. [...] In addition to the director's personal curiosity, the film is also motivated by a historical curiosity that cannot be fully satisfied within the intimate search, but which at least allows for hints: the reactionary image of women in the majority society, the family law of the state, the During this time, the idea of a dissolution of the ideologically naturalized mother-child bond was often taken up.
