Forward Festival 2021 is all about the transformation of society through digitization in the creative scene. It raises questions about the virtualization of our lives and our work, especially during the “new normal”. Forward Festival wants to be an eye opener to the striking aspects of digitization – applied to design, creativity and communication.
Due to the current developments regarding Covid-19 Forward Festival Vienna was postponed to after the summer, which will hopefully allow a lot more of the program to physically happen on-site. The already announced program will stay in place while many big lineup additions are to follow soon. In total there will be more than 20 talks by leading creatives and studios + many workshops and side events.
Be part of Forward Festival Vienna 2021 on October 7th-8th, we are looking forward to seeing you all again!

The Highlights of 2021


The Venue
Gartenbaukino
The Viennese Gartenbaukino owes a special place amongst Vienna’s cinemas. Built in 1960, the cinema exudes the generosity and self-confidence of a classic premier venue. With its impressive 115 square meter big screen and 736 seats, it is Austria’s largest cinema.
Located at the heart of Vienna, lavish and with a wonderful flair, the cinema combines the benefits of a great atmosphere, with the qualities of a diverse and changeable venue.
