Each year we are delighted to highlight some of the incredible Austrian films which are screened as part of the BFI London Film Festival. This year there is a stellar selection from documentary to short film and everything in between.
Untitled
A film about nothing is one of the year’s finest documentaries, and a
lyrical tribute to its late director, Michael Glawogger. After Glawoggers sudden death in 2014, the film was realised and finished by his long term collaborator Monika Willi.

Happy End
Michael Haneke’s portrait of a dysfunctional bourgeois Calais family
offers a potted summary – and bracingly intelligent, partly satirical
update – on themes from his previous films.
