Film Museum on Location:
Cooperations with Museums in Vienna and Salzburg
The work of the Film Museum – collection, preservation, research, education and exhibition – does not stop at the screen of the "Invisible Cinema." As a member of the Museums Association, cooperation runs in our veins; and as a "museum without an exhibition room," we are delighted when partner organizations in Austria and abroad draw on our collections for their exhibition projects.
The mumok (Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig) is another longstanding Viennese partner. Photo/Politics/Austria visualizes the last 100 years of Austrian history with a selection of photographs. Three photographs from our collection, stemming from the production of Sissi (1955, Ernst Marischka) and The Sound of Music (1965, Robert Wise), have been included in the choices for the years 1956 and 1965. Currently on show at the mumok is an exhibition dedicated to filmmakers Kurt Kren (1929–1998) and Ernst Schmidt jr. (1938–1988), whose filmic output is largely preserved in our vaults. Film and More features non-filmic materials from the estate of both these giants of the film avant-garde, accompanied by a selection of 16mm films and digitized film works.
More than 600 paper documents and books from our collection have been on display at the Museum der Moderne in Salzburg since July. The exhibition Resonance of Exile, running until October 28, is dedicated to the life and work of Jewish emigrants. One of those is the Vienna-born Amos Vogel (born as Amos Vogelbaum, 1921–2012), who, having fled from Vienna to New York in 1938, devoted himself to film. Since 2012, the Film Museum has been the custodian of the Amos Vogel Library, the extensive private library of Amos Vogel containing more than 6000 books and numerous autographs. Early writings, a selection of books and a variety of memorabilia from the Amos Vogel Library can now be seen in Salzburg. On October 3, in cooperation with the Film Museum, Das Kino in Salzburg will pay homage to Amos Vogel's influential curatorial work while, as part of the scientific symposium on October 13, Elisabeth Streit and Tom Waibel (Film Museum) will present current results of their research into the Amos Vogel Library.
