Malaria (1983)

Directed by Niki List

Overview

Photographer Niki List’s debut film observes Vienna’s bizarre youth scene. Malaria is the name of a small café that serves as a meeting place for a wide variety of people who identify with various social groups. Anything goes in the café. List ironically describes the young people of the so-called No Future Generation, discussing their communication behavior and the emptiness and aimlessness that define this generation. A Viennese New Wave film, Malaria was lauded as a “documentary masterpiece” and awarded the Max Ophüls Prize.

Length 85 minutes
