Sebastian Kurz – The Truth 21. September 2023

Filed under: Video — Judith Grohmann @ 11:58

In 2023, Judith Grohmann co-produced and wrote her first documentary film about Sebastian Kurz, the former Austrian Chancellor and the youngest head of government in the world at the age of 31. The documentary follows Kurz’s meteoric rise to power, his ambitious reform agenda, his controversial immigration policies, and his complex relationships with coalition partners. It also examines the major crises and scandals that marked his time in office, including the Ibiza affair, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the corruption allegations that ultimately led to his resignation. Through interviews, archival footage, and political analysis, the film explores both the strengths and vulnerabilities of a charismatic leader who shaped Austrian politics for nearly a decade.

An updated version of the 2023 Sebastian Kurz documentary is currently in development, featuring new insights, additional material, and previously untold perspectives.
Please stay tuned.

Tout sur les Jobs du 21ème siècle…


J´ai de nouveau été invitée à participer comme intervenante au „Forum des Métiers 2026“, cette fois-ci organisé par l´équipe de l´ Association des Parents d´Élèves du Lycée Français de Vienne (APE) . Cette journée a été destinée aux élèves de classe de l´enseignement Secondaire, soit de la 6ème à la Terminale, pour se familiariser avec les nombreux parcours de formation et de leur permettre de rencontrer des professionnels de divers domaines. Le forum est conçu comme un espace de rencontre directe. Les élèves ont circulé librement pour venir discuter avec nous à nos tables. En parallèle, plusieurs échanges thématiques de 40 minutes ont été organisés tout au long de la journée.

Cette journée a permis aux élèves de poser de nombreuses questions. Certains on réalisés des interviews pour la fameuse Webradio du Lycée Français. J´ai été interviewée par Marilan.

Je tiens à remercier infiniment l´APE, l´LFV et tous les élèves qui ont participé, ainsi que les collègues qui ont partagé avec moi la section „Communication“ lors du »Forum des Métiers 2026«

The real Mozart: Book Launch and Discussion – September 2024 16. September 2024

Filed under: News — Judith Grohmann @ 13:20

On Tuesday, September 10th, 2024, I presented my book »The real Mozart – The Original King of Pop«, written for Pen&Sword Ltd., in London. The event was a private, invitation-only gathering hosted by The Anglo-Austrian Society & The Mozartists and The Austrian Cultural Forum London. The event took place at 28 Rutland Gate, a beautiful, Austrian-owned building known for its rich history in cultural and intellectual cooperation. It has been the stage for some of the most celebrated names in classical music, and I was thrilled to add to that tradition.

I had the great honor to be on the podium together with Mr. Ian Page, the wonderful conductor and head of The Mozartists and we talked about the making of my book. Keep in mind that I am Austrian and that this is my first book that I wrote in English language. In between we had a wonderful Piano Concert.

We had 50 guests that Evening, among which: Some of my British friends dropped in, including Adel Darwish, a British-Egyptian political journalist and historian based at the Press Gallery of the House of Commons, specializing in Middle Eastern politics; Graham, who has worked internationally in the publishing industry; Andrew, a historian and author living in South Yorkshire; and Anthony, a Family lawyer, along with his sister Judy, a musician. One particularly special guest was Doris Brendel, daughter of the world-renowned Beethoven and Mozart pianist Alfred Brendel. Doris is a singer, songwriter and musician.

On a more personal note, the presentation coincided with my birthday, so it was a particularly memorable evening for me.
