New Hollywood and Many Premieres: Preview of "Cinema Like Never Before"

Vienna's Augarten will transform into a cinematic haven this summer with the return of "Kino wie noch nie," running from June 25 to August 30. Filmarchiv Austria presents a curated selection of films, offering a unique open-air experience alongside its indoor screenings at the Metro Kino the following day.

This year's festival shines a spotlight on the "New Hollywood" era, a period of significant artistic and commercial change in American filmmaking that began in the late 1960s. The program will feature iconic titles that redefined the industry, including John Cassavetes' "Husbands," Arthur Penn's "Bonnie and Clyde," Mike Nichols' "The Graduate," Dennis Hopper's "Easy Rider," and William Friedkin's "French Connection."

cinephiles can anticipate seeing these influential works, with some screenings presented in their original 35mm format, offering an authentic viewing experience. The festival promises a program that appeals to rebellious spirits and celebrates the enduring legacy of New Hollywood cinema.
