In May 2027, art+film+vienna will host its fourth festival edition at the Breitenseer Lichtspiele. From now on, filmmakers, artists, and other creators working with experimental moving-image practices on and beyond the cinema screen are invited to submit their projects via FilmFreeway. In addition to single-channel film and video works, submissions may incorporate performative, spatial, installation-based, interactive, or live elements. a+f+v explores the intersections of film, visual art, performance, sound, and digital media, providing a platform for projects that challenge conventional formats, categories, and modes of presentation.

The following submission deadlines apply:
Earlybird | 30 September 2026
Regular | 15 February 2027
Late | 15 March 2027

For the most recent edition of a+f+v, we received outstanding submissions from artists in more than 60 countries. This breadth of perspectives contributed significantly to the festival’s artistic diversity and the strength of its programme.

a+f+v presents experiments in moving images on and beyond the cinema screen. The media and spatial boundaries of the screen or cinema hall are constantly being explored anew, going beyond conventional screenings in hybrid screening formats, installation screenings, interventions in public spaces and other work-specific presentation formats.

The Breitenseer Lichtspiele, founded in 1905, presenting film ever since without interruption are a consistent part of Vienna's cinema culture. The cinema forms the festival’s centre from where screenings, performances, concerts and many other work-specific formats spread throughout the district.
