The Austrian Film Festival was an Austrian film festival held annually between 1977 and 1996 . Until 1992 it was the only one that was fully dedicated to contemporary Austrian filmmaking . In addition to feature films , documentaries and experimental films were shown .
The festival was first held in Velden am Wörther See in 1977 under the direction of Gerald Kargl and Horst Dieter Sihler and took place between 1980 and 1982 in Kapfenberg . From 1984 to the last event in 1996, the Austrian Film Days took place annually in Wels and were organized under the direction of Reinhard Pyrker from the Austrian Film Office . In 1994 and 1996 (none took place in 1995) the event was held under the name Film Fest Wels .
In 1993 another festival of Austrian film was founded in Salzburg with the Diagonale . After both festivals paused in 1997, only the Diagonale has taken place since 1998 - since then in Graz .
