A video produced by students of St. Pölten UAS features statements by guest workers from the St. Pölten area and their descendants.

Emotional and informative video production

The script was jointly developed by guest workers and the Department of Social Sciences at St. Pölten UAS. The interviews were conducted by students. After an intensive post-production phase in which the students also designed and created subtitles, other graphic elements and an atmospheric soundtrack, an emotional and informative 20-minute video was the outcome.

The film was screened at the "Fest der Begegnung" at the Cinema Paradiso in St. Pölten.
