FESTIVAL NEWS

The competition of the fifth Art Visuals & Poetry Film Festival have been closed. Check the time table online! The Vienna Poetry Film Festival will show 101 films within three days.

Traditionally, the artist community and art association Art Visuals & Poetry has once again organized two poetry film competitions: The second competition called "Special Award" was open for all nations, but dedicated to a given festival poem. In 2019 we have chosen the poem "First" by the Austrian writer Sophie Reyer. The festival provides this poem as a soundtrack to all participating film makers including the copyrights and an English translation. The main competition of the Vienna Poetry Film Festival 2019 was restricted to filmmakers of the German-speaking countries. Submission closed May 20, 2019!

The Poetry Film itself is a hybrid of literature and film and a child of the digitization, although the oldest known poetry film was made in 1905 in the United States. Have a look at the Vienna Poetry Film Festival on Facebook
