!!!Amateurfilm

Amateur Filmmaking, common form of non-professional filmmaking since 
the beginnings of  Film. The first amateur fimmaking club in Austria 
was founded in 1927 as the "Klub der Kinoamateure Oesterreichs" (KdKOe 
- Austrian Cinema Amateurs' Club). During the National Socialist 
period, amateur filmmakers were united in the "Bund Deutscher 
Film-Amateure" (BDFA - Federation of German Film Amateurs). After 
1945, numerous other clubs arose in addition to the KdKOe and some 
were united in the 1960s in the "Dachverband oesterreichischer 
Amateurfilm-Vereine (Federation of Austrian Amateur Fimmaking Clubs, 
since 1964 "Verband oesterreichischer Film- und Videoamateure" - 
Federation of Austrian Film and Video Amateurs (VOeFA)). At first, a 
distinction was made between narrow and small-frame formats as well as 
the subjects of the films; newer developments have also placed video 
(VTR) and computers in the field of amateur fimmaking.
