VIENNALE – AUSTRIA'S BIGGEST FILM FESTIVAL
22 October – 3 November 2026
The Viennale International Film Festival Vienna - is a NON-COMPETITIVE FILM FESTIVAL. It is accrediated by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF).
The Viennale presents a distinguished selection of the most relevant and noteworthy contemporary films of the past year, alongside retrospectives and thematic sections that offer stimulating perspectives on the history of cinema.
The festival has no competitive sections. Without limitations regarding running time, the Viennale screens both contemporary and archival/historical films.
The Viennale requires Austrian premieres for all contemporary films. Films that have been made available theatrically, online, broadcast on television, screened in galleries or museums, or commercially released on VOD, DVD/Blu-ray, or any other format are not eligible.
As the Viennale’s programme is curated, the festival does not issue a call for entries.
If you wish to inform us about your film, we thank you for your interest, but kindly ask you to take this into consideration.
The Viennale is no longer accepting film informations for this year. Submissions for the 2027 Viennale will open again in April 2027.
