A list of films produced in the Cinema of Austria in the 1960s ordered by year of release. For an alphabetical list of articles on Austrian films see Category:Austrian films. Due to a sharp decline in Austrian film production, the rate of films released reached very low numbers by the end of the decade, with most of these being international co-productions with partial Austrian participation.[1]
