Film mosaic: Magic of the Austrian Film Museum


Non-profit organization Austrian Filmmuseum (Das Österreichische Filmmuseum), which was established in 1964 in Vienna by the legendary Peter Kubelka and Peter Konlechner, has become one of the most relevant film institutions in Austria and one of the most important cinematheques and film museum in Europe in a relatively short time. Besides screening and preserving films, Filmmuseum also deals with restoration of films and publishing. However, it is most famous for its innovative film programs. One of those will be presented during Short Tuesday in Tuškanac by the well-known curator and critic Christoph Huber. We will see a selection of classics and unknown master-pieces, from the early hand-colored film by Segundo de Chomon and the for a long time lost piece by Josef Von Sternberg, to films by Stan Brakhage, Jess Franco and Guy Maddin.
