Welcome to Vienna’s Rathausplatz!

Every year since 1991, this square has transformed into the stage for Europe’s biggest culture and culinary festival.

Year after year, the popular Film Festival presents the best recordings from pop, rock, classical, jazz, musical, operetta and opera.

And thanks to collaborations with the Vienna State Opera, United Stages Vienna and ORF III, you can look forward to a multitude of top-class productions once again this year.

It’s this unique mix of first-rate music films and culinary delights from all over the world that captivates hundreds of thousands of guests each season.

The Film Festival is a symbolic representation of Vienna’s high quality of life, of shared summer moments and of the joy inherent in art and cuisine.

Enjoy your time set against this beautiful backdrop, surrounded by friendly faces and the kind of diverse offer you’ll only find in Vienna.

I wish you an evening to remember!
All the best and enjoy!

The Film Festival on Vienna’s Rathausplatz has been a trademark of the federal capital for more than 30 years. Hundreds of thousands of people from Vienna and all over the world visit the popular event every year to enjoy the unique mixture of culture, cuisine and the special flair of the city with free admission.

In 2024, the film festival was once again presenting top productions from all genres of music over 64 days.

Many crowd-pullers, which have sold out halls, concerts and opera houses around the world, guarantee very special moments on Vienna’s Rathausplatz.

In addition to high-calibre operas such as The Magic Flute, Madama Butterfly and Otello, this year’s Film Festival will feature numerous concert recordings of pop and rock greats such as P!nk, Queen, Imagine Dragons, The Rolling Stones, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds and Amy Winehouse.

Classical music, dance, jazz, world music and musicals are also more than duly represented again this year. A wonderful programme for young and old – with free admission once again, of course.
