The Alpinale Short Film Festival (German: Alpinale Kurzfilmfestival) is a film festival in Bludenz, Vorarlberg (Austria). The short film festival draws around 1,000 visitors to Bludenz. Every year, about 30 hand-picked international short films are screened. The best films are awarded the Golden Unicorn.[1][2][3]
From 1985 to 2002, the festival took place in Bludenz, and from 2003 to 2019 in Nenzing. In 2020, the festival will be held in Bludenz again.[4] The 35th Alpinale took place between 11 and 15 August 2020 under strict regulations to prevent infections with Covid-19.[5][6][7]
The film language of all short films at the Alpinale is played in the original sound. For foreign language films, subtitles are displayed, while some English films are only provided without subtitles.[8]
