A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.

Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Reportagen Live on Stage: “27 Jahre Einsamkeit” (“27 Years of Solitude”)

“I don’t like what I see in society. I don’t think I fit in,” says Christopher Thomas Knight, born in 1965. No address, no car, no tax return. He spent half of his life alone in the woods. Until he was arrested. Journalist Michael Finkel tried to approach the hermit. How did he survive in the woods? And why would a person prefer a life of solitude to community?
