20 European artists question the current economic system.

Happiness Machine is a short films’ programme collected from 10 women animators and 10 women composers from all over Europe, reunited by Klangforum Wien and Tricky Women discussing the following topic: to what extent does the current economic climate affect our lives and right to happiness?

In a variety of impressions from satirical to fairy tale, to documentary, these artists have fun deconstructing the system and highlighting hindrances or proposing alternative ideas that are more conducive to well-being.

A collective and creative discussion that questions the world we live in and teaches us to look at it from a new perspective.
