The final curtain. 🎬✨

Our inaugural film festival came to a close tonight with The Sound of Music—a perfect finale for a festival full of firsts.

First time partnering with the incredible team at 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 , who went above and beyond and made us feel genuinely cared for.

First time having Red Bull Singapore as our soft drink partner—so professional, yet wonderfully low-key about their huge brand presence one week prior Formula1.

And first time working alongside Kenneth Tan and his wonderful team at the Singapore Film Society , whose advice, encouragement, and friendship will stay with us long after tonight.

We loved every sing-along moment, every story about Salzburg, every memory you shared of singing “Do-Re-Mi” as a child, and every recollection of how this film shaped your perception of Austria. ❤️🤍❤️

Thank you for celebrating with us tonight.

Thank you to annasgourmet.sg for Austrian delicacies & chef Karl Dobler for the fluffiest Kaiserschmarrn.

This may be the final curtain for this chapter—but it feels like the beginning of something beautiful.

At first, it was just a story.
For Rafael Frankel, applying for Austrian citizenship under §58c didn’t begin with paperwork. It began with fragments — stories passed down about Vienna, about 1938, about a synagogue burning just around the corner, and a family forced to leave everything behind.

Only later did those fragments start to come together. As Rafael spoke with relatives and began collecting documents, the past became clearer — and more personal.

“My grandfather described himself as a ‘twig plucked from the fire,’” he says. It’s a phrase that stayed with him. A stark reminder of how close his family came to being erased, and how much of who they are today is tied to that history.
Applying wasn’t a difficult decision. It felt like a continuation. What started as curiosity slowly turned into something more grounded — a way of reconnecting with a past that had been abruptly, violently interrupted.

The process itself took time. And patience. Tracking down records across countries, piecing together family history, navigating formal requirements — none of it was simple. But it also created space to reflect. “It really makes you slow down,” Rafael says, “and engage with where you come from.”
For Rafael’s family, the application also sparked new conversations across generations. Stories once rarely discussed became central, especially for his children. “It’s not only about the past,” he says, “but about giving the next generation the option of returning the family to a home we thought we left for good.”

Today, Austria represents more than a place on the map. It is a connection — to heritage, to resilience, and to values his grandfather carried throughout his life: community, responsibility, and standing up for human dignity.

For his children, Austria is both history and possibility.

A story that was once interrupted is now being continued.

16 March 1966 at the Istana: the Austrian Ambassador presents his credentials to President Yusof Ishak, sealing the start of Singapore–Austria diplomatic relations – making our partnership almost as old as independent Singapore itself.

What started as a young nation reaching out to a European partner has grown into a warm friendship across trade, innovation, culture, shared values and people‑to‑people ties.

From this credentials ceremony in 1966 to today’s resident embassies, cultural festivals and growing economic ties – Singapore and Austria have journeyed 60 years side by side.

Here’s to writing the next chapters together!

Four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we gathered in Singapore to pause, reflect, and honour the resilience, courage, and quiet strength of the Ukrainian people.

Hosts  and the Embassy of Ukraine organised the screening of the award-winning documentary Night Shift by Kyiv-based 🇸🇬 journalist & filmmaker 

The film captures the silent tensions and enduring spirit of civilians living through war — a powerful reminder of how storytelling preserves memory and truth.
In solidarity, Ambassadors of EU Member States in Singapore,  🇺🇦 Amb. Kateryna Zelenko, 🇪🇺  & Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer  , the  ,  , the international diplomatic community, leaders of the creative community and youth activists came together to  .

The Austrian Embassy in Singapore was honoured to join not only this reflection, but also an official meeting in the lead-up to the event, when Ambassadors and deputy heads of , Ukraine, and other like-minded countries met with Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express their solidarity with Ukraine on Russia’s war of aggression.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we join , our European friends in Singapore and in honoring the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and all those persecuted by the N**i regime.
 
As part of the commemoration, our display, “The Art of Survival: Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Children of Theresienstadt”, pays tribute to a Viennese artist and teacher who used art to protect children’s souls amid the horrors of the Theresienstadt ghetto.
 
Born in Vienna, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis held art classes for Jewish children imprisoned in the Theresienstadt ghetto. Between 1942 and 1944, she taught over 600 children to draw their dreams and hopes rather than the horrors surrounding them. Through art, she gave them dignity, identity, and a voice that still speaks to us today.
 
Dicker-Brandeis was deported to Auschwitz in October 1944, where she was murdered at the age of 46 together with many of her students. Their legacy, however, lives on — a powerful reminder of resilience, humanity, and the enduring strength of the arts even in the darkest times.
 
May her story inspire us to continue bridging generations, preserving memory, and standing against all forms of hatred and intolerance.
