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 .
