ETHNOCINECA

About

The ETHNOCINECA - Ethnographic and Documentary Filmfest Vienna - is a unique film festival in the city of Vienna which is dedicated to anthropological themes and topics.

The ETHNOCINECA intends to provide a platform for all media-artists and filmmakers, who concentrate on anthropological issues like home, otherness, migration, oppression, liberation, poverty etc. to introduce their works to a broader audience. A public discussion about the visually presented issues shall be stimulated and facilitated.

The  program  of  ETHNOCINECA  comprises  two categories:  the  regular  program  and  the ETHNOCINECA Student Shorts Competition. Submissions are allowed only in either one of the two categories.
