Film & Video

The Multimedia Collections also includes a stock of Styrian films and videos. Cinematography is one of the many innovations produced by the 19^th century. This made it possible to not only preserve images but also to set them in motion and thus create an illusion. For the audience, the medium of film brought the entire world within easy reach. Cinema also allowed them to temporarily escape into fantastic and utopian dream worlds. Our film collection is committed to Styria. It shows us the everyday life of people, the transformation of the cities and landscapes and thus contributes substantially to our knowledge and our understanding of the 20^th century.
