Here to stay

A film by

Markus Wailand

Vienna is the world capital of racist tags on public walls . Thousands of facades scream "N* out" or "Kill all N*s". This film searches for the agitators and wants to disturb the Viennese while collectively looking away. It shows the struggles of the Black community against racist clichés and their commitment to positive counter narratives. Because they too are Vienna and HERE TO STAY!

Quotes

»When a representative of the community, the journalist Simon Inou, publicly points out the problem on this very occasion, it is quite surprising who suddenly becomes an expert on what is hurt black people and what is not. Dozens of commentators completely ignore the opinion of those affected and are only concerned with their own assessment of the controversial terms.«
