We are happy to once again call for submissions for the short-film competition 20 Seconds for Art! Soundless films, twenty seconds long, are to be produced, artistically interpreting the subject of “Climate. Utopia & Reality”.

For the purposes of orientation, some of the following issues might be addressed:
How is the climate – also the social climate - changing? Which roles do mobility and the steadily increasing energy consumption
play? What could or should a future look like which has mastered the current challenges? Which ecological, economic and social developments would this involve, and which approaches to the solution would it entail? Which positive and negative effects on the climate can consumer behaviour and lifestyle have? How can art help to create a keen awareness of climate change and which contribution can the art business make?

Each of the selected spots will be shown on about 3 400 INFOSCREEN displays of the Austrian network (Vienna, Linz, Wels, Graz, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt and Eisenstadt) for a period of eight weeks from July 4 to August 28, 2022.
