Happy New Year

Montag, Januar 3rd, 2011

I spent New Year’s Eve in the very pleasant company of @blueyedbarb. At midnight we were on Heldenplatz watching the fireworks (and, incidentally, having our ears blown out. God, that was loud!)
I promised to post a few impressions. Here they are.
The fairytale castle in the background is the Rathaus (council house, or city hall).

My Personal Viennale ‘10 Programme

Samstag, Oktober 16th, 2010

Viennale is the annual Vienna film festival, which usually takes up the second half of October. During these days, I spend considerable time in the five festival theatres. It’s a great opportunity to catch a lot of films that I could otherwise never see at all, let alone on the big screen. There are a few mainstream productions shown, but I’m in a habit of steering clear of most of them.

This is my personal programme for 2010. If you would like to meet up, feel free to contact me on facebook, twitter or via mail at squadrat @ this domain (soher.at).

March and Rally for Human Rights at AIDS 2010

Sonntag, Juli 25th, 2010

Last week, the XVIII International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2010) took place in Vienna. Part of it was a rally for human rights on the 20th of July, which was headed by singer Annie Lennox, who also performed. I was there and took a few pictures. Please also take some time and read about the current struggle against HIV/AIDS and the 10 reasons why human rights should occupy the center of the global AIDS struggle.
