History of the event
The VIENNALE is Austria's most important international
film event, as well as being one of the oldest and
best-known festivals in the German-speaking world.
It takes place every October in beautiful cinemas in
Vienna's historic centre, providing a festival with
an international orientation and a distinctive urban
flair.
A high percentage of the approximately 82,000
visitors to the festival from Austria and abroad
is made up of a decidedly young audience.
In its main programme, the VIENNALE shows a carefully picked selection of new
films from all over the globe as well as new films from Austria; some of
these are international first screenings. The choice of films offers a cross-section
of bold film-making which stands apart from the aesthetics of mainstream
conventionality and is politically relevant.
Aside from its focus on the
newest feature films of every genre and structural form imaginable, the
festival gives particular attention to documentary
films, international short films, as well as experimental
works and crossover films.
The VIENNALE receives regular international acclaim for its yearly organisation
of a large-scale historic retrospective in collaboration with the Austrian
Film Museum, its numerous special programmes, as well as for its tributes
and homages dedicated to prominent personalities and institutions in
international film-making.
The conclusion of the festival sees the awarding of the FIPRESCI-Prize
of the international Film Critics' Association, the Vienna Film Prize of
the City of Vienna, plus an award for an outstanding international short
film donated by the principal sponsor of the VIENNALE, the Creditanstalt
Bank.
Gala
screenings, special events and parties are as much
a part
of the festival as interviews, animated audience discussions
and encounters between international guests of the
festival and local visitors.
In recent years, the VIENNALE has established a secure
place for itself on the international festival scene.
It has become a festival which offers a programme
of high quality
in a relaxed urban atmosphere in autumn,
when Vienna is at its most attractive; it presents
an exciting array of newest international trends contrasted
with selected historical reference points; it is
a festival of information, surprises and discoveries.
And above all it is a festival of films.
