Initiated in the 1990s Diagonale film festival has established itself as the main platform for the presentation and discussion of Austrian film productions ever since, constituting an indispensable venue for both the film industry and the public. Franz Jud will outline some of Diagonale’s fundamental aspects such as the festival’s programme, its positioning, and its perspectives for the future. Short film trailers by renowned Austrian film makers who had been commissioned by Diagonale will illustrate the presentation.
