Since 2001 Tricky Women takes place every year in March around the date of the International Women’s Day. Tricky Women focuses on animated films made by women and therefore fills a unique position within the international festival landscape. Besides the competition the festival shows themed programs and retrospectives to present an exciting overview of the animated cinematic art of female artists from around the world and Austrian filmmakers as well. Historical curiosities and contemporary productions are part of Tricky Women’s programming.
Animated Documentaries, works of students of international film schools and academies, and the cinematographic reflection on the complex work/society were established as festival anchors. Exhibitions, workshops and Best Practice-afternoons provide an insight into the creative work of filmmakers and offer the opportunity to get in touch with each other. Tricky Women’s declared aim is to confront the audience with the unlimited aesthetics of animation films made by women.
Whether on the internet, in broadcast design, in advertising or in live action movies – animation is omnipresent and experiences continuous modifications on its artistic level. The international animation film festival Tricky Women not only anticipated these tendencies more than ten years ago but also dedicates its activities as a non-profit organisation especially to the productions of female animation filmmakers. Worldwide Tricky Women is the only animation film festival which focuses on animation movies made by women.

The Call ends on October 6th 2017!
