With heels high and heads held even higher, this open-air celebration closes the festival "Vienna Shorts" and kicks off Pride Month with a dazzling tribute to queer joy, bold self-expression, and drag as a form of liberation. From glamorous places to sky-high stages, these films celebrate the art of transformation—where dance meets protest and fashion becomes statement. We follow stories of self-discovery, fierce confidence, and a community that lifts each other up. Amid glitter and laughter, the political shines through: when drag readings spark controversy and love becomes resistance. Loud, proud, and full of life — Drag Me Up!
