Film stills represent both visual traces of film and their own type of photographic image. They are taken onset during filming in accordance with an elaborate procedure via which a photographer re-stages film scenes specifically for the still camera.

The Albertina is turning the spotlight on this hybrid genre for the first time in a comprehensive exhibition of 150 film stills taken between 1910 and the 1970s, thus simultaneously shedding light on a cross-section of various historical schools of photography and filmmaking such as pictorialism, expressionism, and neo-realism.
