The VIENNALE is Austria's most important international film event, as well as one of the oldest and best-known festivals in the German-speaking world. It takes place every October in beautiful cinemas in Vienna's historic centre - a festival with an international orientation and a distinctive urban flair. A high percentage of the approximately 89,000 visitors to the festival from Austria and abroad is made up of a decidedly young audience.
In its main programme, the VIENNALE shows a carefully picked selection of new films from all over the globe as well as new films from Austria, a great number of which being international first screenings. The choice of films offers a cross-section of bold filmmaking which stands apart from the esthetics of mainstream conventionality and is politically relevant.

"MY TEARS ARE DRY"
LAIDA LERTXUNDI
USA/E 2009
Screenplay: Laida Lertxundi
Camera Laida: Lertxundi
Sound Laida: Lertxundi, Laura Steenberge, Lucas Quigley
Music: Laura Steenberge, Hoagy Lands
Production: Laida Lertxundi
Distribution: Laida Lertxundi,
A film in the three parts of a dialectic. Hoagy Land's song is played and interrupted as a guitar makes sound, two women, a bed, an armchair, and the beautiful outdoors. The lyrics of the song reference the eternal sunshine of California and its promises.
It is a dialogue between sound and image, and there is a certain feminine presence, a feeling. My Tears Are Dry is playing with diegetic space, with relays on a sound and image synch, it is referencing an emblematic film, it is a document of a moment in Los Angeles. (Laida Lertxundi)
