The Art Visuals & Poetry Film Festival Vienna, founded in 2010 as a non-profit artist association, transitioned to a dedicated poetry film festival in 2013. It showcases various genres of poetry short films, including experimental, animation, and performance pieces, with competitions for German-speaking countries and an international category based on a selected festival poem. The festival, held at Künstlerhaus Vienna, features screenings, readings, and lectures, and awards prizes for outstanding works in both categories.
