Live streaming platform Kino VOD Club brings focus to Graz

Private investigator Simon Brenner races across the city on his scooter: past the stadium in Liebenau with the Storm fans, in zigzags through Schönaugasse, past the Kleine Zeitung and the house wall right in front of it, where the competition took place. At that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was announced on the wall. Then to Murinsel with a spectacular visit to the toilet, and finally a chase through Schloßberg and a conciliatory visit to the central cemetery of Graz.

Or would you prefer another tour of Graz? We pass through Gries and Lind in a stretch limousine – and then back and forth between the Andräviertel and the Elisabethinen Hospital in a wheelchair with the legend of the unconscious representation.

Two films and many legendary scenes in which Graz was immortalized, part of which has now largely disappeared. “Eternal Life” (2015) and “The Accidental Kidnapping of Mrs. Elfriede Ott” (2010) are classic works from Graz. In the new Graz package of the Austrian streaming service “Kino VOD Club” It is included.

Nine films shot in Graz have been compiled – and with them locations in Graz that are “worth seeing alongside the films”, as the team at Kino VOD Club believes. Furthermore: “With Rechbauer, Schubert and KIZ Royal, Graz also offers great places to watch films.” Individual cinema tours of the city can be found online in the descriptions of the respective films. You can also stream the films shown for one euro cheaper until September 20.

In Jakotop, the film is still Karl Binder.
