> YASUZ? MASUMURA
>
> February 6 to 21
>
> Yasuz? Masumura (1924-1986) is one of the major secrets of Japanese  
> cinema: a brilliant and highly influential director who has been  
> barely noticed in the West. An attack against the norms and  
> conformism of Japanese society lies at the heart of his ethic. He  
> often used violent constellations for this purpose, utilizing  
> figures who are teetering on the brink of insanity as well as  
> erotic and obsessive subject matter. With two exceptions, his  
> principal works were all created in a relatively brief period,  
> between 1957 and 1969.
> The Austrian Film Museum now presents a large tribute to Masumura,  
> including 18 pivotal works from his oeuvre.

> LUIS BU?UEL
>
> February 21 to April 6
>
> The Spanish director, whose works were almost entirely created in  
> exile, was one of the major figures in 20th Century culture. His  
> subversive and sarcastic oeuvre, constantly shadowed by state and  
> church censorship attempts, spans the golden age of Surrealism and  
> the worldwide success of European art films in the 1960s and 70s.
> In cooperation with the Berlin Film Festival and the Deutsche  
> Kinemathek, the Austrian Film Museum will show the Complete Works  
> of Luis Bu?uel (1900-1983).

> February 13
>
> In its February installments the new Film Museum series for 2008,  
> the "Year of Contemporary History", presents rare film documents  
> from the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. >From 1900 on, films about the  
> imperial court started to be shot on a regular basis by foreign  
> companies, who were soon joined by Austrian firms. The existing  
> film reports on the imperial family provide exciting material for  
> observing the relationship between politics, economy and the  
> entertainment industry. (A joint series of the Austrian Film Museum  
> and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for History and Society.)

> filmmaker Dietmar Brehm in 2002 in the  Austrian Film Museum,

> premiere in this confrontation with Dietmar Brehm's newest  
> creations. It will be an opportunity to discover an artist who,
