Janka Industries, a former vault turned into a creative space, has become one of the central points of Vienna’s counter-culture. Artists and bands such as Voodoo Jürgens, Petra und der Wolf and Tankris can be found there, rehearsing in the midst of a pile of instruments and electrical appliances with sometimes mysterious functions accumulated over the years. Angela Christlieb (Whatever Happened to Gelitin) offers us an unforgettable tour of the owner punctuated by heady musical performances. (Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival)
