The festival gems of the season

We embark on an expedition through the international festivalscape and take a look at jury and audience favorites: which films received accolades and qualified for the main award shows in the past few months? Which films premiered at the big festivals and have then been successful in the festival circuit? If you want to know the answers to these questions, you will be delighted to watch our several Best Of The Fests-programs, studded with this season’s festival gems.

In Vienna. With love, we look at the city with that exactly— but also with a wink. FromStream To Screen features the biggest hits from the European streaming platform “This is Short,” while Landscapes Of Feelings puts the spotlight on the work of artist-in-residence Hilke Rönnfeldt. Animation fans can look forward to The Best Of The Animation Festivals and Three Award-Winning Animations. If you’re into award-winning short films from major international festivals like Cannes or Sundance, we recommend The Best Of The Festivals. And if you’d like to see this year’s Vienna Shorts award winners and audience favorites neatly compiled into two programs, The Award-Winning Films and The Audience Favorites are just right for you.
