Presented by Filmarchiv Austria and ASIFA Austria

In cooperation with ASIFA Austria, Filmarchiv Austria presents six research project programmes under the same name, as part of Diagonale 2009
(Curators: Robert Buchschwenter, Sabine Groschup, Mara Mattuschka, Norbert Pfaffenbichler, Thomas Renoldner).

Starting with a thorough research of the materials the project develops an overview of the production history of this genre. This information forms the basis for phased work on exploitation and release. Within the framework of Diagonale 2009 this project opens the first window – six programmes are to be shown, which suggest a revision and relocation of animated filmmaking in Austria as an art where each image can stand alone. In a follow-on step, a book is planned which is also to be presented as part of an extensive tribute.
