Peter Brunner, born 1983, is a filmmaker from Vienna. His works have premiered at renowned international film festivals including Slamdance, IFFR, and Karlovy Vary, and have received many awards. He has made various short films and music videos. In 2021 his exorcism drama Luzifer premieres in main competition at Locarno.
Inspired by the true story of an exorcism.
Johannes, an innocent, Kaspar Hauser-like man with the heart of a child, lives secluded in an alpine hut together with his eagle and his devout mother. Daily life in this isolated world is governed by prayer and ritual. But suddenly, modern objects and disruptive noises intrude between nature and worship. A tourist development threatens to poison their paradise and awaken the devil.
