Movies Online at Viennale Festival !

The annual Film-Festival in the heart of Europe (Vienna/Austria), is one of the oldest and best-known festivals in the German-speaking world. It takes place every October in beautiful cinemas in Vienna's historic centre, providing a festival with an international orientation and a distinctive urban flair. A high percentage of the approximately 70,000 visitors to the festival from Austria and abroad is made up of a decidedly young audience.
