The first ever feature-length film essay telling the story of Austrian cinema from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the present-day. From Luise Kolm, one of the world's first ever female directors, to contemporary New Wave stars Michael Haneke, Stefan Ruzowitzky, Ulrich Seidl and Jessica Hausner, the film will explore cinema as a projection of the complex relationship between Austrian national identity and individual actors, directors and producers over the century, both inside and outside Austria.
