The Tricky Women festival’s focus on female creators of artistic animated film is unique in Europe. The biennial festival, which takes place in March in Vienna, is the highlight of a diverse range of cultural activities carried out by Culture2Culture.
Tricky Women brings a broad spectrum of topics, aesthetics, narrative styles and techniques into the public domain and gives new impetus to animation artists. Works range from those in the classic style, through narrative puppet animation, to innovative and abstract computer-generated animation. Tricky Women festival programme includes international competition with an international jury of experts and the following prizes: Tricky Women City of Vienna Prize and a 3-month grant as part of the Quartier21 Artist in Residence Programme in Vienna’s Museum Quarter, as well as an Audience Award.
