The Austrian festival has serious credentials. As well as being Austria’s leading short film festival, it is both a qualifying festival for the Academy Awards and Austrian Film Awards.

 

VIS Vienna Shorts – Held at the start of summer in May and June, it screens short films, with over 10,000 visitors and 600 industry reps attending. That makes it both a great place for discovering new movies and doing some solid industry networking.

“VIS wants to create tension and encourage fantasies, pique people’s curiosity and incite discussions, in short: generate the desire for short films No matter if fiction or documentary films, animated or experimental work – at best, the experience of watching a film doesn’t end with the credits rolling and the festival represents enrichment for both the local audience as well as international short filmmaking.”
