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.

Rabenhof theatre II
Rabenhof theatre
The Rabenhof theatre is located in the so-called Rabenhof, a municipality building dating back to 1927. The premises originally functioned as workers ballroom, but were converted into the Rabenhof cinema with about 400 seats in 1934. In July 1971 the cinema was closed. The theatre was reopened in April 3, 1990. In summer 2008 an attempt was made to restore the original optical state of the 1920s. Luckily, various interior architectural elements were merely hidden behind wooden panels. The Rabenhof theatre plays a mixture of young, critical theater and cabaret. For several years the so-called protest song contest has been held here.
