Tricky Women/Tricky Realities 2024: Int. Competition 3

Cinema meets crafts(wo)manship. Tactile and textured, film practice breathes life into images through engraving, ink on glass, puppets, stitching, sketching, stop motion and celluloid experiments. Anchored in space and place, the films explore family ties where roots run deep. What emerges is a dialectic between independence and interdependence, agency and legacy. The dissolution and reconstitution of the family unit pulsates through memory and materiality.

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.
