Cittador International Film Festival in Vienna is dedicated to independent, arthouse, and auteur cinema. Since 2022, the festival has taken place annually over the course of one week in Vienna, presenting international, European, and Austrian feature-length and short films. Cittador IFF embraces film as an expression of personal vision and actively supports works beyond the mainstream. A further defining aspect of the festival is its celebration and presentation of genre diversity. Selected short films are screened in a Vienna cinema, while feature films and additional short films are presented on the online platform Cine.Cittador.
All feature-length and short films should demonstrate strong artistic vision and a high aesthetic standard. Cittador IFF presents not only established film genres, but also genre-crossing works that inspire, challenge, and entertain audiences.
