New Austrian Film

<p> Out of a film culture originally starved of funds have emerged rich and eclectic works by film-makers that are now achieving the international recognition that they deserve: Barbara Albert Michael Haneke Ulrich Seidl and Stefan Ruzowitzky to give four examples. This comprehensive critical anthology by leading scholars of Austrian film is intended to introduce and make accessible this much under-represented phenomenon. Although the book covers the full development of the Austrian new wave it focuses on the period that has brought it global attention: 1998 to the present. <em>New Austrian Film </em>is the only book currently available on this topic and will be an essential reference work for academics students and filmmakers interested in modern Austrian film.</p>
