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.
