New Director Appointed

The Board of the Austrian Film Museum has appointed Michael Loebenstein, currently Chief Executive of the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA), as the new director of the museum. This follows Alexander Horwath's retirement from the role of director, effective October 1, 2017 after 16 years of leadership at the museum.

The appointment was made following an extensive search, which commenced in June 2016 by an international recruitment panel.

Michael Loebenstein will relocate to his native Vienna from Australia in early 2017 and commence work as the incoming director shortly thereafter.
