The Blickle Kino at Belvedere 21 is the only wholly intact cinema from the 1950s in Vienna. The generous support of Ursula Blickle allowed for the renovation of this extraordinary cinema, which architect Karl Schwanzer designed initially as part of the World Exhibition Pavilion in Brussels. Today, the Blickle Kino meets all cinematic standards and features a variety of Art Film programmes, including the Blickle Archive Series.
This lovely space will house the PyR 2021 International Competition and other meeting points for artists and audiences.

Art exhibition building located on Karlsplatz and built between 1865 and 1868 by a non-profit artists' association, one of the oldest surviving in Austria. Since then, it has played a key role in shaping and enriching the country's cultural life.
In 2021 Künstlerhaus has around 470 members from all areas of artistic creation, and more than ever, it sees itself as a platform for meeting all those interested in art and matters of cultural policy.
Our Festival Opening, PyR Exhibition, Junior programme, and some live performances will be housed at the brand new FACTORY, a room devoted to multimedia experimentation.

The unique Invisible Cinema, located in the Albertina Museum, is an architectural space completely focused on the image and sound of the film. First envisioned by experimental filmmaker Peter Kubelka and architects Johannes Spalt and Friedrich Kurrent, this "black in black" space will host many of our non-competitive sessions, including exclusive programmes curated by Austrian FilmMuseum's own Jurij Medem and devoted to pioneering abstract animators Mary Ellen Bute and Len Lye.

Spread over 90,000m2 in central Vienna and encompassing 60 cultural institutions, the MuseumsQuartier Wien is one of the largest districts for contemporary art and culture in the world.
Raum_D, the College Auditorium at the MuseumsQuartier, will be our Early Bird meeting point for artists and the press.
