In 2000 she took part in courses on script writing and on the planning and realization of cinema documentaries; the latter, entitled \u201cSources 2\u201d. In 2001 she started research in Sicily on the topics of identity and organized crime. She realized her first documentary \u201cNobody mingled with nothingness\u201d 2004. Since then Tschautscher has realized several cinema documentaries, such as \u201cBeni Altm\u00fcller\u201d, \u201cFranco Accursio Gulino\u201d and \u201cHow many subjects you are?\u201d She did research for five years on the topic of irregular migration from Africa to Europe. Two large-scale projects were realized in 2007, \u201cEurope beyond the dream\u201d and, in 2009, \u201cIf you want to help Africa\u201d. Several shorter films such as \u201cMarch of the hospital beds\u201d and \u201cIdyll according to Stifter\u201d and a book, \u201cForgive us Lords\u201d were realized inbetween and afterwards. In 2010 she raised the question, How does peace work?. She realized a film about the work of the international community in Kosovo under the title \u201cWie geht Friede\u201d. How do the EU, OSCE, NATO, NGO\u2019s, the Kosovo Parliament and EULEX work together in order to find a solution for peace in an European Country. In the same year she published a novel, \u201cJeanne d\u2019Arc ends the holy war\u201d with Albatros Verlag. In 2011 she completed a film in Austrian dialect, \u201cIs eh ois do\u201d – \u201cWe got enough, and to spare\u201d, about realized and positively connotated projects in the field of renewable energy in Austria. This film was received very favourably by the media and proved a great success, with audiences appreciating especially the down-to-earth, comprehensive reportage. In 2012 she realized another documentary, \u201cHans in Luck\u201d. It is the portrait of a highly successful Austrian company producing custom designed hi-tec equipment for industry and a multiple prize-winning hi-tec e-bike, whose battery has won a number of prizes in its own right. Between 2011 and 2014 she produced and directed \u201cToo BIG To Tell\u201d<\/a> about the worlds finance system. She raised the very much discussed question: How is money created? Without conspiracy theorys she realised a film, which has been on the Top 10 List of the Robert Junker Bibliothek in Salzburg. The \u201cZentrum f\u00fcr Politische Bildung\u201d in Bonn, Germany, produced 5000 dvd\u2019s of the film, to offer it schools and universitys all over Germany. 2017 she produced a poetic docuemtary about \u201cThe myth of redemptive violence\u201d following the books of the famous american theology \u201cWalter Wink\u201d, who was engaged in the peace-movement in America and South Africa for all his life.<\/p>\n Johanna Tschautscher\u2019s work is squarely based on research. She takes stock of facts and pictures and explores them, looking for the subtext of the topic and how they relate to the well-being of the human soul. Organized crime; irregular migration; peace in Kosovo; renewable energy; burn-out as a condition that results from the \u201cmaximization of profit instead of the maximization of the development of the personal human nature\u201d, peace and non-violence are key themes in Johanna Tschautscher\u2019s work. In 2009, her hometown, the city of Linz awarded her a medal for her courage and dedication.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Johanna Tschautscher is an Austrian cinema documentarist and writer.
