World Premiere of Crossing the Lines:

On October 21st Crossing the Lines celebrated its world premiere at the UCI Movie World in Graz, Austria. Nearly 800 guests came in order to be part of this extraordinary event.

Originally 320 people were expected for this event, but soon after the premiere date got official the theatre was sold out. The biggest theatre in Austrias federal state Styria was added as a 2nd screen. Even this one was also sold out for once in a long time.

The chairman of the Styrian Film Commission, Enrico Jakob, opened the event. 
All guests raging from the age of 6 to 90 years were excited about the film even though their interest were very different.  
„Our movie concept seems to work! This motivates us to keep going.” The film is currently playing at the UCI cinema world in Graz. Looking at the number of visits, Crossing the Lines can keep up with the big Hollywood productions.

The after show party took place at an architectural milestone, the Mur-Island in Graz, where Style of Gravity also presented the official Crossing the Lines DVD.
People kept on partying until the early morning.
“We are speechless“, say the three Styrian filmmakers, and “We didn’t expect this much great feedback at all. We’re really happy about that!“

Movie description:

On October 21st 2005 at 7 p.m. the world premiere of Crossing the Lines was taking place at the Annenhof UCI Movie Theatre in Graz, Austria.

The movie tells the story of three young men who take the step of escaping everyday life to experience the ultimate adventure. 
Ten-thousand miles of road-tripping from the snow-covered peaks in Canada, down to the sandy beaches of Mexico, set the stage for this exciting film. Their route leads them through the most beautiful, breathtaking and remote regions of the North American continent, offering them the perfect playground for their extreme sports passion. New and unique camera angles, as well as insight to the athletes’ private lives and emotions, make this movie an extraordinary viewing experience. An amazing world record flight with the paraglider, party nights in Las Vegas and the sudden appearance of the mysterious surfer Neil guarantee additional action and entertainment.

„This movie is something completely new!“, say the three young styrian filmmakers: Armin Buchroithner, Christoph Hoerner and Stefan Ribitsch. „The combination of extreme sports – in this case climbing, surfing and paragliding – beautiful landscape shots, adventure, lifestyle, acting and surreal elements make this movie extremely interesting and worth seeing. Apart from this, its diversity is appealing to a wide-spread target group. We want to entertain, give the audience the possibility to break out for at least the duration of the film and motivate them to get out there and be active themselves.“

Crossing the Lines is 68 minutes long and was shot during three months in North America.

Crossing the Lines is available on DVD.
