On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Austria's ratification of the UNESCO Convention on the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2019, the ORF III broadcast series "Heimat Österreich" 15 short films on intangible cultural heritage in the main evening program. The aim was to provide broad access to the diverse forms of cultural expression in Austria.
From 2019 to 2022, filmmaker Martin Vogg, in collaboration with CleverContent and ORF, produced a series of features that were broadcast in 15 programs. The films (in German) focus on intangible cultural heritage and look at it from different angles through interviews, historical documents and presentations of innovative projects, thus raising awareness of this cultural heritage and highlighting the importance of the practices for the present and future generations.
A total of 23 practices, knowledge and skills were documented (in German) and made visually accessible to the general public. The short videos for each item are available at the corresponding entries of the national inventory as well as in the link list below:
