And the dotdotdot festival has several.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s traditionally open-air, which makes for relaxing evenings enjoying the atmosphere after the summer sun has dipped below the horizon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Festivals take place in the garden of Vienna&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/volkskundemuseum\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"47771\">Volkskundemuseum<\/a> (the Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art) in the baroque Sch\u00f6nborn Garden Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This provides a suitably elegant backdrop to proceedings, even if the palais has (like me, sadly) seen better days. However, it&#8217;s now undergoing renovation (unlike me, sadly) in time for dotdotdot to return there in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s a truly inclusive event, by which I mean wheelchair accessible, equipped with assistive listening technology with special showings for deaf and hearing-impaired visitors, and similar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It&#8217;s dedicated to short films, so you can enjoy the kind of features, documentaries, and animations you won&#8217;t normally find playing alongside the latest Marvel or Disney epic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect many of the films to be in the original English or with English subtitles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once available, find the full film programme and festival details at the official <a href=\"https:\/\/dotdotdot.at\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2022-dates-and-tickets\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next edition of dotdotdot is set for August 2026 with precise dates TBA. The previous event had showings on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The admission fee at the ticket counter for film nights is normally at your discretion. In other words, you decide how much to pay from the choices available. If you really can&#8217;t afford a ticket, you pay nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-dotdotdot\">How to get to dotdotdot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Volkskundemuseum lives in one of Vienna&#8217;s finer semi-Bohemian districts (Josefstadt), a little behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/rathaus-2\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"267\">town hall<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/entertainment\/rathaus\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"79\">Rathausplatz<\/a> that dominate the western edge of the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re not far from a tidbit of musical history, here. Both Haydn and Bruckner performed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/piaristenkirche-church\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"27732\">Piaristenkirche church<\/a>. Bruckner even took his compositional music exam there. He passed, you won&#8217;t be surprised to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subway: the closest station is Rathaus on the U2 line, but you could catch the U6 to Alser Stra\u00dfe, then jump on the 43 tram toward the centre for a couple of stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tram\/bus: take the 5 or 12 tram to Laudongasse. If coming from the centre, take the 43 or 44 tram from Schottentor and get off at Lange Gasse. The 13A bus also stops at Laudongasse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Address: Laudongasse 15-19, 1080 Vienna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/u\/0\/embed?mid=1X6QkspHnvLXGt1AhjcJQfqRzofxuGHM6\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lovely little film festival: dotdotdot offers a warm dose of entertainment to while away sultry summer evenings in Vienna&#8230; Open-air festival of short film (Press photo by Tobias Raschbacher \u00a9 dotdotdot) With so many film festivals, it helps to have a few selling points to stand out from the competition.
