We are very pleased that ORF continues to stand by our side as a prize sponsor and has also significantly increased the prize money compared to last year! New this year is the ORF Wissen Audience Award, endowed with €2,500, for the most popular documentary film in the Austrian competition.
In the international Fiction & Documentary competition, there was also a welcome increase in the AAC Award for Best Cinematography, sponsored by the Austrian Association of Cinematographers, now totaling €2,000.
Many thanks to our wonderful partners, including the City of Vienna, ASIFA Austria, FIMU, VDFS, and all other sponsors, for their support!
