About the Festival

Vienna has got a new film festival!
From June 16th to 19th, 2009 "11/22 - the International Comedy Short Film Festival" featured more than 600 outstanding minutes of short film from all over the world.

It was all about humorous stories being told in maximum 22 minutes of film.
523 submissions from 44 countries all around the globe presented multifaceted concepts of humour: satire, slapstick, grotesqueness, black humour, absurd… - to name only a few of the represented outlooks.
Unembarrassed puns undermine the seriousness of communication, nonsense overrules its logical basis and black humour strikingly infringes morals. No matter if animated or live action short film - all films center on the festival's motto:

Funny! Isn't it?

The winners of both categories - "11" (up to 11 min 59 sec of running time) and "22" (up to 22 min of running time) - received the 11/22-trophy and EUR 1.122,-- cash prize each.
