The festival aims at introducing emerging Austrian talent to the New York audience, and to showcase American filmmakers in Austria. This program features this year’s prize-winning films, selected by a jury including Austrian filmmaker Jessica Hausner (Amour Fou), American director and producer Sara Driver (Sleepwalk) and Museum of the Moving Image Chief Curator David Schwartz.
