Eye Candy will be positioning two Outdoor LED Broadcast Screens in Vienna for the Viennale.  One will be on Dr Karl Lueger Platz and the other will be on Rathaus Platz. Both locations are along the busy Ringstrasse which encloses Vienna’s prestigious first district.

Dr Karl Lueger Platz is on a main junction and is the central information point for the Viennale. The Rathaus Platz, plays host to many cultural and musical events, thus making it an ideal position for the outdoor broadcast screen.

The ultimate "cool" trip for cinephiles and film lovers.(Giuseppe Salza, Il manifesto)

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 are made up of a decidedly young audience.

It is the more challenging films from the international festival circuit that shine in Vienna, screening to the art-savvy audiences of Austria's cultural center. (Anthony Kaufman, indiewire)

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 esthetics 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 organization 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 institututions 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.

The festival is not dominated by the million dollar deals of Cannes or the workaholic attitude of Berlin, but by metropolitan coolness. (Helmut Merker, Westdeutscher Rundfunk)

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.
