Queer Love Shorts

20.06.2025 | 10 PM | Schikaneder

“I’m feeling butterflies” – and not just because it’s spring. This short film block dives headfirst into the wild, wonderful, messy realm of queer love: from awkward first dates to deep longing, from sweet glances to heartbreak and healing.

Wenn du Angst hast nimmst du dein Herz in den Mund
und lächelst

Marie Luise Lehner’s award-winning debut tells the story of Anna and her deaf mother Isolde — a moving exploration of turning shame into pride, shaped by care and solidarity.

This short film program centers voices that are too often pushed to the margins — stories of queer lives shaped by intersectional realities, complex identities, and sometimes loud resistance.

Queer Coming of Age Shorts
20.06.2025 | 6 PM | Schikaneder

This program is about growing up queer — without smoothing the edges. The films follow young people who fall in love, push back, figure things out or make a mess of it.

Queer Shorts Vienna 25 returns this June with an avalanche of queer stories: 60+ shorts, one feature, and a journey through our »Queering Austria« Retrospective. Why retrospective? Because we’re still asking: Does Austrian queer cinema even exist? Spoiler: it does — loud and proud. 🎥🌟
