Wienfilm 1896–1976
AT 1977, DCP, 117 min, dOFErnst Schmidt jr’s compilation begins with footage shot by a cameraman for the Lumière brothers at Opernkreuzung and spans a wide arc to the year it was made, 1976, with the collapse of the Reichsbrücke and occupation of the Arena, which ushered in a paradigm shift in Vienna’s cultural life. An opulent magnum opus by a great thinker and filmmaker, a critical but also very loving homage to “his” city.
A digital restoration of the Austrian Film Museum based on the 16mm original negative from the ÖFM collection.
