The Filmbar at the Austrian Film Museum Has a New Operator

After five years, the operator of the Filmbar at the Austrian Film Museum, Johann Fuchs, has retired at the end of October 2024. 
 
The Filmbar's future is in good hands: Manfred Stallmajer, director of the hotel The Guesthouse Vienna across the street, will take over food and drink in the Film Museum. The Filmbar will receive a visual and conceptual make over, but the bar's character as a beloved meeting spot with a modern, inviting ambiance will be preserved in the new era.
 
Michael Loebenstein, director of the Austrian Film Museum, emphasizes the meaning of this new acquisition: "I'm excited we can redevelop the Filmbar with Manfred Stallmajer and his team. For both of us, the focus is on style, ambiance, and hospitality. The new Filmbar is meant to be a friendly meeting place for visitors to our cinema, but also for neighbors and passersby – and at the highest level."
 
Manfred Stallmajer looks forward to his new role: "It's a great honor to take over the Filmbar at the Film Museum with my team. Our aspiration with the careful redesign is to create an inviting atmosphere that reflects the spirit of the Film Museum, and offers all visitors a delightful experience overall."
 
We are looking forward to the reopening of the Filmbar and will keep you updated about it.
