Tricky Women/Tricky Realities 2024: Exploring Realities

To bear witness is to render the invisible into images, to bring to light those stories that have been lost, overseen or hidden away. The films in this program employ the tools of animation to testify and account for some of the cracks and empty spaces in history, remember stories (made to be) forgotten and challenge dominant narratives. Above all, they mirror back to us, the audience, and ask us to see, to question, witness and remember.

Between reality checks, feminist utopias and new perspectives: from 7 to 10 March, the Tricky Women/Tricky Realities animated film festival celebrates resistant, powerful animated cinema by women and/or genderqueer artists at the METRO Kinokulturhaus. Around 160 short films invite you to engage with multi-layered, social, political and cultural worlds of experience and to open your own eyes to new spaces of possibility.

The festival takes place in a hybrid form with film programmes, lectures and artist talks in the METRO Kinokulturhaus and online on the festival's own platform: https://www.trickywomen.at/de.
