Program Archive

Notes for Users of the Archive

The complete archive of all programs presented by the Austrian Film Museum, from its founding to the present day, is available online. This resource includes information about each individual screening and all retrospectives, starting with the first printed invitation in March 1964, through the legendary "brown paper bag" calendars from October 1967 ("New American Cinema") to 2002, up to the contents of the current programs.

322 original calendar (from 1964 to 2002) were scanned using OCR (optical character recognition). The scans provide users with a concrete impression of the historic programs, including all film notes.
 
More than one hundred programs from 2003 to the present have been incorporated into our steadily growing database. In order to get full access to these (including program notes and screening details), you need to register with us. If interested, please write to: (e-mail subject: program archive) to get your personal access account. You can log in here afterwards.

When logged in, you can also use the search field in the header of the website to search for film titles in the program archive between 2003 and today.
 
Without registration and login, you will have access only to the monthly program overview and retrospective descriptions without the individual films and dates.
