I am not like that at all

Synopsis english:
„I am not like that at all“ - is a musical animation film by Gunter Wilhelm Puller that draws its protagonists into a maelstrom of different desires and conflicting self-images.

Director Biography - Gunter Wilhelm Puller

The story of Gunter Wilhelm Puller as a filmmaker begins at the age of 13 in the cinema. Again and again he immersed himself for days and weeks in the films of Fellini, Hitchcock, Tarkowski, Wertmuller and, of course, all the French filmmakers. The films were not only screened in these arthouse cinemas, but their audience and surroundings opened up a space for artistic discourse and for taking a stance on the world.
Puller’s autodidactic journey as an artist and composer now leads to his first full-length animated musical feature film, which he worked on for 15 years. Having grown musically into the Viennese tradition of contemporary art music and into the universal world of auteur film, Gunter Wilhelm Puller reveals his very own images and sounds in his often enigmatic works.

The need to make the film "I am not like that at all" arose from my desire to break down people's entrenched discourses and attitudes – and to show a world that can only exist because of its diversity.
