The deadline for industry accreditations has ended. If you have any questions, please reach out to accreditation@viennashorts.com.

Please note: General Admission to the festival is free for anyone under 19, holders of a Culture Pass, refugees with ID, and subscribers to the nonstop cinema pass.

Representatives of the film, TV, and cinema industry; professional filmmakers; representatives of film festivals or film-related institutions; (aspiring) film scholars and researchers; students of film and animation.

The festival reserves the right to decide on accreditation after reviewing the submitted documents. For press accreditation, please contact presse@viennashorts.com. Student groups interested in individual events should reach out to akkreditierung@viennashorts.com.

You can decide for yourself how much you would like to pay based on your personal situation. While we recommend a regular fee of €30, those for whom this amount represents a financial burden can apply for a discounted accreditation at €20. If you would like to actively support others, we encourage you to choose a solidarity accreditation for €50.

Payment is made online and is non-refundable. Accepted payment methods include credit card (VISA, Mastercard), PayPal, and direct bank transfer (Sofortüberweisung).
