Tricky Women Tricky Realities is accepting entries for the 2025 festival edition, taking place in Vienna from the 5th to the 9th of March, 2025.
Tricky Women Tricky Realities focuses on animated works made by women and/or genderqueer artists and therefore fills a unique position within the international festival landscape.
Our parameters are that at least 50% of the film is animated and 50% of the directresses are female and/or genderqueer artists.
Join us, as we exchange the laws of physics with the laws of imagination, replace the physical with the potential and mobilize the power of animation to explore and articulate tricky realities. We cannot wait to see your powerful, subversive and evocative animated works!
