The film Sound of Music(1965) is one of the most well-known and successful international productions (5 Oscars) yet it remains largely unknown in German speaking countries, particularly in Austria. The film is paradigmatic for tourism’s relationship of fiction and reality. Sound of Music is a classical example of a self-contained Hollywood film that tells a straightforward story without posing any major questions for the audience. The film demands a “dissection analysis” that evokes questions and creates breaks.

The trailer is meant to offer a first look into the The Re:Sound of Music project and also summarize the research work and serve as an instrument for communication. Two to five short passages from the original film have been taken as significant examples. They are analyzed with artistic means and subjected to a new interpretation.

The film poster is a collage work to transport the idea of the methodological approach. (“Cadavre exquis” / “Exquisite corps”).Following the distribution and marketing strategies of big Hollywood productions the poster is to be placed in public to attract the local visitors for the upcoming movie.
