Austrian Film Museum

The Austrian Film Museum is a cinematheque and archive in Vienna's Innere Stadt that screens films in their original formats such as 35mm and 16mm prints. The collections come from international sources and are regularly presented to audiences in the cinema.

The museum was founded in 1964 and moved to the Albertina building shortly after, where it remains today. It soon became an important institution for film preservation in Europe.

The museum screens films in their original languages with subtitles, allowing visitors to experience cinema as audiences did in different countries and eras. The selection ranges from well-known classics to experimental works that are rarely shown elsewhere.

The facilities are wheelchair accessible, so all visitors can reach the exhibitions and screenings. English-language showings are marked in the program, which helps international visitors plan their visit.

The screening room was designed with an invisible cinema concept that eliminates all visual distractions and makes only the screen visible. This creates an intense experience where the film takes center stage.
