Dr. Michael Häupl
Mayor and Governor of Vienna
For more than a century, moving pictures or “movies” have been a fascinating and essential facet of our cultural life. Beyond mere entertainment, they open up windows to other countries and cultures. Due to its historical background, Vienna is closely interrelated with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of economic activity and cultural heritage. It is still known as a bridge head to the CEE. Intercultural dialogue is also a clear focus of the third LET'S CEE Film Festival, which shows a selection of top films from Central and Eastern Europe.
I wish the organisers the best of success for the festival, and plenty of great movie moments for the audience.
