Contact High

Synopsis

Hans Wurst and Max Durst dream of getting rich as hot dog stand tycoons while the small-time crook Schorsch just wants to sit around watching car racing all day. Mao would be able to do just that if she didn't have to babysit her girlfriend's daughter all the time. And Harry would absolutely die for a roll in the hay with his blond mechanics. But when Carlos' bag enters the scene, all their dreams and wishful thinking suddenly turn to dust. "Next stop: Drogomysl!"

Director

Born 1959 in Graz, Austria, Michael Glawogger is a traveling filmmaker. Not only does he literally travel around the world for his documentaries, he also travels back and forth between forms and genres, between photography and writing, between gentler and more forceful tones.
He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and the Vienna Film Academy and has since worked as a director, writer, and cinematographer in Vienna, Bangkok, and Znojmo.
His films have attracted international attention, having been invited to countless festivals around the world where Michael Glawogger has been awarded both for his documentaries as well as his feature films, which include »Slumming« (2006, feature), »Workingman's Death« (2004, documentary), »Slugs« (2004, feature) and »Megacities« (1998, documentary).
