Since their publication in September 2026, the Standards for Working on Intimate Scenes in the Austrian Film Industry: Recommendations for Best Practice provide a framework for working with intimate scenes in Austria.
The Austrian Film Institute (ÖFI) initiated the development of the standards and commissioned IC Austria to develop a practice-oriented framework for working on intimate scenes. Drawing on international expertise and input from the Austrian film industry, the standards provide recommendations aimed at sustainably establishing intimacy coordination as a professional field in Austria.
