ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
PFFV is in the process of making screenings and events more accessible. We recognize this as a long-term commitment and are actively working to ensure that this and future editions of the festival are increasingly more accessible and inclusive, particularly for disabled audiences. Our goal is to be transparent and provide clear information so each visitor has the agency to make informed decisions about how they can engage with the festival in a way that best suits their access needs. We are exploring new formats and constantly working to develop and improve our accessibility. We welcome any feedback, questions, or concerns regarding accessibility and encourage you to reach out to us at access@pffv.at.​

EARLY BOARDING & PICK-UP SYSTEM
SUNDAY 13.04.26
As a festival, we are always thinking about how we can improve and become more accessible. This edition, we have once again tried to implement a new idea and offer something new – we've installed an "early boarding" or "pick-up system" for Sunday, 13.04.26.
​
This is intended to be an option for those who, for various reasons, cannot or do not want to come to the festival site alone. Whether it's support for anxiety or other needs, we will try to accommodate them as best as possible.
​
We offer the option to access the space earlier (10 minutes before regular admission). This allows them to choose their seats and settle in at their own pace, and familiarize themselves with the environment, including aspects like lighting, temperature, and layout. To implement this, a team member is available to coordinate the program, and we also have volunteers who support us in its implementation.
