Are you a fan of film festivals? Do you especially love the Viennale with its diverse, genre-spanning program featuring films from around the world? If so, become part of this year’s STANDARD Audience Jury.
We are looking for three enthusiastic film fans to evaluate twelve films selected by the Viennale. The winning film will receive €25,000 worth of advertising space in DER STANDARD, provided that a film distributor adds it to their program.
Please note the following conditions
In addition to your main task – watching and discussing the films together – the STANDARD Audience Jury will also be invited to attend all Viennale festivities during the festival. This gives you the opportunity to meet international filmmakers as well as the Viennale team.
The twelve festival films competing for the STANDARD Viennale Audience Award are spread across thirteen festival days. All twelve films must be watched by every jury member. Therefore, for the duration of the festival, from October 22 to November 3, you should either be free or have a very flexible schedule.
Jury meetings will also be held between film screenings, and you can of course see other Viennale films with your accreditation in addition to the jury films.
