New World
New World is a richly photographed journey through old and new worlds across much of Central Europe, which was once a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, through the lands known as Bohemia, Transylvania, Dalmatia, Galicia, and Bukowina, amongst others. The film travels from the old world into the new, from Sarajevo to Vienna to Romania, from Trieste to the Bay of Kotor, from the Hungarian Puszta to Ukraine. By means of music and stories, anecdotes and legends, turn-of-the-century guidebooks and newspaper clippings, scenes from today, and films and photographs from the early 1900s, a collage emerges of real people struggling, surviving, and living out their lives between the worlds of tradition, change and upheaval.
