The Cittador International Film Festival in Vienna is an annual two-day event presenting international, European and Austrian independent short films. Our Film Festival was created with the goal of showcasing and honoring emerging film talent, inspiring and entertaining audiences, as well as motivating filmmakers and inspiring film lovers. We aim to discover and highlight current cinematic themes and endeavors worldwide in short film. Therefore, we show films as a palette from all film genres, so that a comprehensive cinematic picture can be created for the film audience. It is important for us to hear the opinions of the filmmakers, to give a space for their thoughts and to share their visions with the audience through an interview. Our festival is addressed to all filmmaker who love inspirational, high quality, engaging, original, and imaginative short films like we do.

Cittador International Film Festival considers short films up to 30 minutes length.

The live cinema screenings of the winning films will take place at the beautiful Studiokino Lugner City in Vienna, Austria.
