Visual History of LGBTIQ+ in Austria and Beyond
The Film Museum has long acted as a site for exchanges with trans | queer lifestyles as reflected in contemporary history: Over the decades, from small-gauge films and into the early 2000s, we find traces of a multifaceted, diverse and transnationally active queer culture.
Our recently funded FWF project Visual History of LGBTIQ+ in Austria and Beyond – a collaboration with the Österreichische Mediathek, QWIEN – Zentrum für queere Geschichte, STICHWORT Archiv der Frauen- und Lesbenbewegung, Schwules Museum Berlin and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital History – will examine for the first time the LGBTIQ+ community's ephemeral audiovisual self-documentation within and in connection to Austria. Organized in partnership with the University of Arts Linz (Institute of Fine Arts and Cultural Studies), the three-year project will begin in January 2023.
The Pride Biz Research Prize has already been awarded to a related, initial publication of our long-term project "Rainbow Films" (working title) which collects and programs these films and videos.
