Votiv Kino

Votiv Kino is an arthouse cinema located in Vienna, Austria. It operates as a cultural venue dedicated to the exhibition of European and international arthouse films, with a strong emphasis on curated programming. The cinema is closely associated with Kino De France, a sister screen that specializes in French-language and Francophone cinema. Together, the two venues form a well-known destination for cinephiles in the Austrian capital. The cinema's programming includes first-run arthouse releases, thematic series, and special events. One of its signature offerings is the Filmfrühstück (Film Breakfast), a Sunday morning event that combines a film screening with a full breakfast, available in vegetarian and vegan options. Tickets for the combined film and breakfast must be purchased in advance, with sales opening on the Monday of the respective screening week. The cinema also operates a loyalty and gift-card program called VotivCard, which allows customers to load credit for future visits. Votiv Kino has received recognition for its programming quality. In 2025, it was awarded the Europa Cinemas Award for Best Programming, an honor that has been presented since 2002 to celebrate outstanding achievements in cinema exhibition. The cinema maintains an active online presence through its website, social media channels, and a presence on the film-focused social platform Letterboxd, where its program is also published. The venue also encompasses the Bellaria Kino, whose program is listed separately on the Votiv Kino website. This suggests that Votiv Kino operates or manages multiple cinema spaces in Vienna, further establishing its role as a significant exhibitor in the city's arthouse film scene. The cinema's website serves as a central hub for program information, online ticketing, and news about upcoming releases and events.
