This year RKSS is back with a state-of-the-art slasher of the purest kind.

Veni Vidi Vici

The social satire Veni Vidi Vici explores the excesses of capitalism and its powerful elites, but also questions our own role in the power game. Daniel Hoesl’s fourth feature film is the second time he’s shared the director’s chair with Julia Niemann. They previously co-directed the documentary Davos in 2020. Veni Vidi Vici was produced by Ulrich Seidl, a figurehead in Austria cinema, known for his provocative style and acerbic criticisms of society.
