Tradition and Innovation

New Austrian Film

The domestic film industry today epitomises outstanding diversity and originality. Biting satires and socially critical documentaries effortlessly carry forward the new blood of the successful traditions. Nominations and awards at Cannes and Venice, and numerous awards at international film festivals attest to the profile of new Austrian film.

Cutting-edge - Avant garde film

One of Austria's key contributions to international film history lies in avant garde film. The non commercial, experimental film genre exploits filming techniques outside established traditions. There has been a history of modern film since the beginning of the fifties, which laid the groundwork for the successes of today.
