ARCHIV DER ZUKUNFT
Österreich 2023 – Director: Joerg Burger – Orig. version with English subtitles – subsequent Q&A with director Joerg Burger – Length: 92 min.
A detailed look behind the scenes at the Natural History Museum in Vienna. This time-honoured institution houses collections that date back over 250 years – but it is in no way out-dated. Modern technologies are in use here, such as digital data capture, 3D printers and a camera designed to capture cosmic dust. Nonetheless the museum struggles for recognition and has to grapple with underfunding. Anja Klauck
