To celebrate the release of the 13th edition of YES & NO magazine —YES & NO Kino+Film Austria — which sheds light on more than one hundred years of the all-but-hidden history of Austrian cinema and film, YES & NO presents a two-part programme in partnership with the ICA.

Curated by sixpackfilm’s Dietmar Schwärzler, these programmes showcase some of the most iconic and groundbreaking Austrian avant-garde films. From the trailblazing experimental paragons of the mid to late 20th century to the most vital and innovative talents working today, these films reveal why Vienna remains a global centre for the avant-garde.

Programme One will also include insights from a panel of Vienna-based film artists in attendance. As legendary Austrian filmmaker Peter Tscherkassky quotes in the introduction to the book, Film Unframed, "There must be something in the water…"

This YES & NO Project has been made possible with the support of the Austrian Film Institute, in collaboration with sixpackfilm, Vienna, and the kind participation of the Austrian Cultural Forum London.

Special guest artists for Programme One to be announced soon.
