Tricky
Women started 2001 and was the very first festival of animated films dedicated to female animation artists. It is always held
in Vienna in March around International Women´s Day. 2021 the festival vibrantly celebrates its 20th anniversary. TRICKY WOMEN/TRICKY
REALITIES is worldwide the only big recurring festival of animated films by female*/trans/inter creators.
Due
to the Covid19 situation we have to expect the unexpected for March 2021. In case of a hybrid/online festival,
we
will clarify the online-screening rights with you in advance.
