Some nominees from 2011

The first presentation of the Austrian Film Prize , an award from the Academy of Austrian Films , took place on January 29, 2011 in Vienna .

Venue

The original plan was to hold the award as part of a festive gala event in the painter's halls of the Vienna Arsenal . The artistic direction should be taken over by Stefan Ruzowitzky in collaboration with David Schalko and the ORF broadcast the gala moderated by Dirk Stermann and Christoph Grissemann on television.

In November 2010, the academy announced that the gala, but not the award ceremony, would be canceled in the first year because funding was no longer possible through cuts in the public budget. So the award ceremony took place during a small celebration in the Odeon in Vienna . The gala was moderated by Rupert Henning , member of the academy's board of directors .
