Long Night of Museums 2020

The Austrian Film Museum is a cinematheque, its exhibitions take place on the screen. Several 40-minute programs offer a glimpse into our activities: From archive to programming, from special collections to research activities, from film as a document of everday life to its historical, technological und aesthetic aspects. Pivotal to all this: the experience of watching film together on the big screen.
