Feature film by Sabine Hiebler & Gerhard Ertl after a novel by Cornelia Travnicek
CHUCKS, the new film by Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl ("Coming of Age/Anfang 80"), tells the featherlight story of Mae's growing up between life and death. Full of humor, at times rebelliously loud, then extremely tender – completely in the spirit of the literary version it is based on, the successful novel by Cornelia Travnicek about which Clemens J. Setz once wrote: “If I were to get stuck in a lift with a character of contemporary literature, I would want it to be Mae. I don’t know whether I would come out safe and sound, but it would be worth it.”
Filmfestivals.com Editorin Chief and cofounder Bruno Chatelin met with Cornelia the author of Chucks.
Chucks, the film, has had its world premiere today in Montreal: the directing couple Sabine Hiebler and Gerhard Ertl return to the festival, 3 years after their Audience Award Prize.

The COURAGE to be brave
Producer Danny Krausz on CHUCKS
I already got to know the creative originality of the director duo Hiebler-Ertl in their first feature film “nogo,” which I produced in 2000.
Their screenplay for CHUCKS impressed me deeply, and I had a vision that it would make a very good film.
In CHUCKS people face their destinies; there is no complaining. I find that fantastic. I rarely see such figures in our films. They give people –...
EXPECTATION AND CONFORMITY
A Conversation with Cornelia Travnicek
Was there a scene or statement that led you to write the novel CHUCKS?
In hindsight, of course, that’s always hard to say – there’s that nice word “inspiration” that means an idea appears out of nowhere. But the point of departure for me was actually the family constellation behind the main female character. What happens to families who are confronted with these kinds of strokes of f...

ADOLESCENCE as A GLITCH
What fascinated you about the book CHUCKS?
When we first read CHUCKS by Cornelia Travnicek, we were amazed at how many parallels this novel had with our film “Coming of Age”. CHUCKS, too, is about love and death – a thematic combination we simply cannot turn down – and about the overwhelming emotions involved.
Both are love dramas in which the characters grow to meet the challenges they are faced with: The female protagonist breaks...
