PIXELvienna Animationfestival is part of the Annual Austrian Computer Graphics and Animation Conference PIXELvienna taking place in the beautiful setting of Vienna. Providing international perspectives, talks, workshops.

Every year, PIXELvienna invites well-known national and international computer graphics, computer games and computer film professionals to present their work. Since 2005 artists, producers, and directors from very diverse backgrounds shared their passion and knowledge.
PIXELvienna arose from the drive to connect computer graphics professionals and to build a community to share experience and knowledge. While PIXELvienna grew over the past years, the original idea is still the same: “From the community, for the community!”
PIXELvienna is entirely organized and operated by the Austrian digital creators community, a team of volunteers who deliberately work all year to make the conference an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Being an international event, the official conference language is English.

In 2014 we decided to rename the conference from simply “PIXEL” to “PIXELvienna” in order to further underline the great location of this conference and prevent confusion with similar named conferences.

Last year we had software prizes from Tvpaint, Toonboom and Dragonframe.
As well as cash prizes and trophies. We awarded 6 filmmakers. For this year, 2025 we hope to keep our sponsors.

Films can be submitted to PIXELvienna Animation Filmfestival if they correspond to the definition of animation formulated by the International Animated Film Association, ASIFA: ”the art of animation is the creation of moving images through the manipulation of all variety of techniques apart from live action methods”.
