LET'S CEE Film Festival

The International LET’S CEE Film Festival, based in Vienna, presents a carefully curated selection of the best current feature films, documentaries, shorts and promising debuts from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) including the Caucasus region and Turkey (26 countries in total), shown in the frame of four competitions and various other categories, ranging from legendary classics, topic-related retrospectives and tributes to prize-winning animations and even children’s films. With only a few exceptions, the roughly 150 films are presented in their original versions with English or German subtitles, and most of them are Austrian premieres. The LET’S CEE Film Festival not only brings a wide range of cinematic masterpieces to Vienna, but, meanwhile, hosts up to 150 directors, screenwriters, producers, actors, cinematographers and other film experts from across Central and Eastern Europe, year after year. The filmmakers themselves have many opportunities to share experiences with their international and Austrian colleagues. The comprehensive framework programme features exclusive events, ranging from high-class workshops, master classes and lectures to panel discussions, presentations and, last but not least, an attractive party schedule, all of which are open to the general public too. Starting from 2017, the festival addresses Austrian and international film professionals as well with its LET’S CEE Talent Academy and the LET’S CEE Industry Days, being the only one of their kind in Austria.
