🇦🇹🎬 Austrian Film Night!

Join us on October 9 for an evening of Austrian cinema as part of Film|NEU 2026, presented by the ACF DC in collaboration with the NYU Brademas Center, Washington D.C.

We’re screening PEACOCK (PFAU – Bin ich echt?), the debut feature by Austrian writer-director Bernhard Wenger — a sharp and quirky satirical tragicomedy about identity, performance, and the roles we play for others.
💬 What if you could hire someone to be the perfect boyfriend, son, or dinner guest? At MyCompanion, Matthias does exactly that. But as he disappears deeper into the different roles he plays, his own identity starts to unravel.

📅 October 9, 2026 | 6:30 PM
🕕 Doors open at 5:45 PM
📍 NYU Brademas Center, Washington D.C.
🎬 German with English subtitles
🍷 Enjoy a glass of Austrian w**e before the screening!

✨ A week full of design

Since 2007, VIENNA DESIGN WEEK has been celebrating the diversity of Vienna’s and Austria’s design scene — from product, furniture and industrial design to architecture, graphic and social design. 🇦🇹

From Vienna to the US and beyond, the festival connects local design potential with an international audience and opens up new ways of thinking about how design shapes our world. 💡✨

Together with the Science Diplomacy Grid, the Embassy of Austria was delighted to host the 4th Global Quantum Strategies Overview event on September 22, 2026. 💫

✨🎶🎭 THANK YOU to the Vienna-based collective Fox On Ice for a wonderful performance of ORLANDO TRIP at the Embassy of Austria, Washington D.C.!

The audience was fascinated by this reimagination of Ludovico Ariosto’s and Virginia Woolf’s mythical character Orlando. Part concert, part spoken performance, part cinematic experience, ORLANDO TRIP unfolded through twelve songs, intermezzi, and videos that traced the journey of Orlando — a knight, traveler, and ambassador, who crossed the seas several times and finally returned as a masterful and nomadic conqueror of rigid borders. Seamlessly blending stage and film, music and literature, Fox On Ice created an immersive world where humans and landscapes, masculinity and femininity, reality and myth continuously transformed into one another 🌍📚🎬
