Welcome to the debut issue of Showcase Vienna, brought to you by Production Paradise. We present the very best of the Austrian capital's visual media industry, with much more information available in our dedicated Photo and Film directories.

With its breathtaking natural assets Austria has long-been an attractive proposition for the creative industries, but as Hollywood has duly noted over recent years, Vienna is increasingly becoming a number-one destination for international productions.
