Erste Bank Film Award
The Erste Bank Film Award, initiated and sponsored by Erste Bank, was awarded for the first time in 2011. The Erste Bank Film Award is selected by an independent jury from among the Austrian film productions presented at the Viennale.
The Erste Bank Film Award consists of a stay in New York City, including a screening of the film at the Anthology Film Archives. The Erste Bank Film Award is organized in collaboration with the Viennale, the German House at NYU, and the Anthology Film Archives.
