Cut-out from the making-of (total length 15:53 min.)
At the beginning of 2023, I had the pleasure of working with DOP and editor Steven Lüdtke to produce an about 15-minute making-of for the feature film „The Fox“ (German title: „Der Fuchs“).
„The Fox“ is the true story of Franz Streitberger, a motorcycle courier in the Austrian army, who is integrated into the Wehrmacht when Austria is annexed by the German Reich. At the beginning of World War II, the introverted young soldier finds a wounded fox cub, which he cares for as his own child and takes with him to occupied France. Through this strange friendship with the animal, his own past as an outcast mountain farmer’s son slowly catches up with him, from which he has been running away for most of his life.
The real Franz Streitberger, born in 1917, was the great-grandfather of director Adrian Goiginger. In the drama „The Fox“ he is played by Simon Morzé. During the Berlinale in February 2023, we had the opportunity to conduct extensive interviews with both of them in front of the camera about their touching feature film. We combined this material with various private photos and original scenes from the film and accompanied them with the wonderful film music by Arash Safaian. For our making-of, we were also able to use behind-the-scenes footage that was shot during the first days of filming in spring 2021.
