Think no more and submit your short film before January, 31st to VIS Vienna Shorts: Oscar, EFA and BAFTA qualifier, 20000 $ in cash awards



Since 2004 VIS Vienna Shorts screens a bold program of international fiction, documentary, animation and experimental short films. To VIS, the experience of watching a film does not conclude with the end credits, and it therefore looks for a way to create tension and stimulate fantasies, to arouse people's curiosity and initiate a debate, thus offering a great opportunity of cultural enrichment both for local audiences and international visitors.


Since last year, the festival has a new team, new screening theatres and a new international network (that includes the Oberhausen Festival), and it has been accepted by the EFA as part of the exclusive list of festivals associated with the short films category European Film Awards. Out of some 4000 films received by the festival last year, 305 were selected, and 67 of them were screened in the two international competitions. Fiction & Documentary, and Animation.



: Since 2016, winners of the Fiction and Animation Short Film Jury Awards may qualify for the Academy Awards® organised by the Hollywood Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science. Since the 2018/2019 season, the festival is accepted as an associated festival for the European Film Awards, and it remains a British Academy Awards, BAFTA, qualifying festival.

Furthermore, in this 17th edition the festival will give out in excess of 20000 $ in cash awards. Think no longer and submit your short film BEFORE JANUARY, 31st!
