Film Promotion: The most important agency for promoting films in 
Austria is the Oesterreichisches Filminstitut (Austrian Film 
Institute) established in 1981, until 1993 called the Oesterreichische 
Filmfoerderungs-Fonds (Austrian Film Promotion Fund, OeFF). Every 
Austrian cinema or television film that is professionally made and 
self-produced is eligible for federal film subsidies. According to the 
amendment to the Film Promotion Act of 1998 the objectives of Film 
Promotion include: supporting the production, distribution and 
commercial use of Austrian films, increasing the economic viability 
and quality of Austrian film production, promoting cooperation between 
cinema and television, providing specialised organisational know-how 
and participating in harmonising in the film promotion measures 
carried out at federal and provincial level.
