The Program at Cinema on the Roof 2025

The open-air cinema "Cinema on the Roof" at the Vienna Main Library opens on June 1, 2025, with a preview of the Austrian documentary "Not Yet Lipizzaners" by Olga Kosanović. As a warm-up for the season, "Girls & Gods" by Verena Soltiz and Arash T. Riahi will be shown the evening before, also a preview.

Cinema on the Roof dedicates this summer to love

The thematic focus at Cinema on the Roof 2025 is love. Under the title "Love Stories," classics and independent films about love, relationships, and great emotions will be shown until September 13.

Stories about love have been told in cinema since the beginning of film history. Whether rom-com, drama, epic, musical, or arthouse classic - the portrayal of love in film is as versatile as love itself. A few facets of it are shown by Cinema on the Roof this summer under the motto "Love Stories" with films like "In the Mood for Love," "Call Me by Your Name," or "Only Lovers Left Alive."

Austrian film and local cinema in focus

A traditional focus at Cinema on the Roof has always been local cinema. This year, special attention is given to Austrian film. The opening weekend with the two documentary previews "Not Yet Lipizzaners" and "Girls & Gods" marks the beginning. The program also includes further previews like "How to Be Normal and the Oddness of the Other World" and "When You Are Afraid, You Take Your Heart in Your Mouth and Smile" and many other new releases from the Austrian cinema landscape.
