The cantilevered roof of the building and the so-called ‘Monitor’ (a huge panorama window) capture the eye of the viewer. The space inside is stuctured by a spacious atrium and narrow “canyons” that divide the massive exterior.

The Metro-Kino is a cinema in the Johannesgasse 4 in the 1st district of Vienna. The building first housed a nightclub called Elysium, later a playhouse was opened at this address. In 1951 the Metro-Kino moved in. The cinema was taken over by the Austrian Film Archive in 2002. The Filmarchiv Austria runs the cinema for the showing of significant and historical Austrian films. Furthermore, it is one of the traditional venues of the Vienna International Film Festival (Viennale) taking place every October since 1960.
