Vienna Bites. A clan of vampires is haunting one of the world's food capitals | Short Film

Vienna is where vampirism first learned its name. In the 18th century, as rumors of the undead spread across the far east of the vast Habsburg Empire, Empress Maria Theresia summoned her court physician, Gerard van Swieten, to press reason against the dark – to prove vampires no more than superstition. But the city is hiding a dark secret: has Van Swieten led us all astray? Their existence is hidden by an ancient lie. Their victims are fattened up on Vienna's extraordinary gastronomy making their blood irresistible. The precious deliciousness of life, accentuated by the shadow of cold immortality. Who wouldn’t want to live forever, when life tastes this good? Come, be our guest. Take a bite of Vienna! Just be careful… She bites back.
