The aim is to organize the event according to the criteria of the Austrian Eco-label for Green Events.

The Gartenbaukino is a special place among the cinemas of Vienna. Built in 1960, it exudes the generosity and self-confidence of a classic premiere cinema. With its impressive large screen and 736 seats, it is the last large single-screen cinema in downtown Vienna.

It traditionally hosts the opening gala of VIENNA SHORTS, followed by a party in the foyer.
