Verband Filmregie Österreich

The Association was founded in 1989 under the name of Verband der Filmregisseure Österreichs (Association of Austrian Film Directors). Almost all of its members are film directors creating feature films and documentaries in Austria. Upon the initiative of a young and successful generation of woman film directors, the name was changed to be gender neutral in 2006. The association is not a member of the Austrian Filmmakers Association.

Filmaustria

Filmaustria is an association of the larger Austrian film production companies, such as Allegro Film, Dor Film, Wega Film, Satel Film and others. In contrast to small production companies, Filmaustria is opposed to a wide range of funding for a great number of projects and favours in-depth funding of major projects with a commercial thrust.

Founded in the early 1970s, the Association of Austrian film producers represents a great variety of film producers in Austria.

FÖFF

 Is the newly founded Austrian film festival umbrella association. It represents the interests of larger and smaller festival presenters. The FÖFF helps guide through the new structures in festival funding at federal and state levels of the last two years. (Since 2016, a special jury decides on funding distribution in the city of Vienna). Further increase in resources in respect to the variety and number of festival is needed. Two reknowned festivals (Identities and Kino unter Sternen) were forced to close in 2018/19.
