Free Admission at the Open Air Film Festival KARLSkino in Vienna: Program 2025
KARLSkino 2025 opens its two-week program on July 7th, fitting the urban flair of the festival, with the documentary "URTOBĒN – Vienna's illegal Artforms" by Bastian Brandstötter. It is about Urban Exploring and the risky art of creating street art in hidden and forbidden places in Vienna. Before the screening, there will be music and live graffiti action.

The following two evenings are hosted by the VIENNALE with Mo Harawe's THE VILLAGE NEXT TO PARADISE and EL JOCKEY by Luis Ortega. The revolutionary power of love is celebrated by KARLSkino together with the Wiener Festwochen. "V is for loVe" is the theme once again, telling stories of devotion, passion, and pain. Other co-hosts include the CROSSING EUROPE Festival, the Red Lotus Asian Film Festival, and BAAF, the Best Austrian Animation Festival.
The conclusion of this year's KARLSkino is a musical special program as a warm-up for the POPFEST, which takes place from July 24th to 27th at Karlsplatz.
