Starring Appearance by the City
An unusual exhibition with representative excerpts from around 80 Austrian and international feature films. Containing images of the city that are unique to each film, the show ranges from the silent movie period to the present day, from Erich von Stroheim or Willi Forst to Michael Haneke or Barbara Albert. Barely known movies are as equally represented as famous films that have provided images now embedded in the city’s collective memory. Whether realistic or constructed, whether shot on location in the city or in the studio, images and motives of Vienna from the period concerned are both established and contradicted, changes in the physical appearance of the city and its perception revealed.
