Exclusive pre-screening on KINO VOD Club

To set the stage for Tricky Women Tricky Realities 2026, we are launching an exclusive online special in collaboration with the KINO VOD Club starting February 18, 2026.

Until the festival begins, audiences worldwide can stream a carefully curated selection of films at KINO VOD Club. The program features recent Austrian animated works by women and/or genderqueer artists, alongside curated programs of Maria Lassnig’s animated works and subversive (self-)portraiture. The selection is complemented by texts, interviews, and additional materials that offer further insight into the works and their contexts.

For audiences in Austria, a nationwide Tricky Women Tricky Realities curation from the VOD catalog will also be available.

“The films we platform seek to challenge familiar narrative structures and vways of seeing, to imagine new worlds, or to disrupt the one we inhabit. The works in this selection do exactly that — pushing aesthetic and storytelling boundaries, embracing humor, daring to go to extremes, and/or demonstrating remarkable sensitivity.” –TWTR
