VIENNALE
Vienna International Film Festival
Every October, the VIENNALE takes place in beautiful cinemas in Vienna´s historic center, providing a festival with an international orientation and a distinctive urban flair.
The VIENNALE is Austria´s most important international film event, as well as one of the oldest and best-known festivals in the German-speaking world.
A high percentage of the approximately 81,600 visitors to the festival from Austria and abroad is made up of a decidedly young audience. 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 It presents an exciting array of newest trends contrasted with selected historical reference points. It is a festival of information, surprises, discoveries and above all, of films.
Erste Group since 2004 has supported as a partner the annual “Internationales Film Festival” (VIENNALE).
Customers of Erste Bank can get tickets for VIENNALE at reduced prices.

Observer
The Viennale trailers have long been a trademark of the film festival. After filmmakers like Stan Brakhage, Leos Carax, Agnès Varda and Jean-Luc Godard, David Lynch has now realised for Viennale 2011 a cinematographic miniature of about one minute length, titled “The 3 Rs”. A film in which Lynch’s entire abysmal and fantastic cosmos appears condensed in a brief sequence of images and sounds.
