Film screening 1 hr. 10 min.
with a discussion about the genesis of the radio feature about the film.

The author and filmmaker Susanne Ayoub presents her film Alma’s Little Photographer about the last contemporary witness who knew Alma Mahler-Werfel and her family personally.

Seven of Erich Rietenauer’s 90 years were so extraordinary that they determined the course of the rest of his life. As a small boy from impoverished circumstances at a Christmas party given by the politician Julius Tandler, he was suddenly face-to-face with a lady from high society. He never forgot her eyes of “steel blue,” her fragrance, or her embrace. Her name was Alma Mahler-Werfel.
