The Viennale is an annual must-see event for cineastes and is taking place this year for the 60th time. Austria's biggest film festival will be featuring film highlights from all around the world from October 20 to November 1.

A special is dedicated to the director Med Hondo, who is considered to be the founder of African cinema. Argentinian film noir from the Peronism era is also the focus of this year's Viennale. To mark the occasion of the 60th Viennale, there are also numerous films and events by and with Werner Herzog, who celebrates his 80th birthday this year. The German director was himself director of the Viennale in 1991, and is considered to be one of the most important representatives of new German film. Best known are his works with Klaus Kinski, like "Nosferatu" and "Fitzcarraldo".

Austrian cinema is also represented, as always. In her film "Mutzenbacher", Ruth Beckermann approaches the well-known story in the style of a documentary. Claudia Müller presents her film on Elfriede Jelinek, who was the first Austrian writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004. Ulrich Seidl's new film "Sparta", which is currently hitting the headlines because of its production conditions, will also be shown at the Viennale.

Māori artist George Nuku invites you to debate an exciting mix of issues at the Weltmuseum Wien (World Museum Vienna) and the Theseus Temple: Climate crisis, colonization, Māori culture, and much more.

For its 2022 exhibition highlight, the Weltmuseum Wien (World Museum Vienna) invited George Nuku, one of the world's most sought-after Māori artists, to Vienna. The New Zealander has already realized around 120 major projects worldwide, and Vienna can be described as the highpoint of his career to date.

Works from the collections of the Weltmuseum Wien and of the Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna literally merge with Nuku's art. He works autobiographically and at the same time focuses on global issues like the climate crisis. Past and future always collide. Nuku's preferred materials: Above all plastic, but also polystyrene, Plexiglas, and wood. Again and again, the visitors comes across plastic bottles or parts of them and their twist caps.

The Albertina dedicates its major autumn exhibition to Jean-Michel Basquiat, who rose to become a superstar of the art world in 1980s New York. Fifty key works from international collections reflect his complex, emotionally charged work.

The major autumn exhibition "Basquiat. The Retrospective" at the Albertina presents one of the most unusual artists of the 20th century: Jean-Michel Basquiat. The special show marks the first comprehensive retrospective on Basquiat curated by a museum in Austria. Around 50 key works of the American, who died in 1988, have been brought together from renowned public and private collections around the world with the aim of providing insights into Basquiat's unusual imagery as well as decrypting his often complex artistic ideas.

The exhibition presents numerous large and intensely colorful works, frequently displaying signs and symbols that are representative of his extensive oeuvre. The exhibited works show Basquiat's central themes: Racism, social injustice, and consumer capitalism. They are on display in the Bastei Hall, the lower ground floor of the Albertina, until January 2023.
