LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT OF HERE! But where are you stuck? In yourself and your defeat? Swallowed in your alcohol addiction? In your broken unhealable heart, in your social fears, war and family, in endless icy mountains or in the trunks of trees? This programme is a collection of traps. Shall we face them before we try to escape?

The selected emerging directors surprise with their ambition, early mastery, and distinct authorial voices. Although their thematic range is diverse, they are united by a bright, insightful perspective and an exceptional ability to draw the viewer into the narrative. These creators are not afraid of bold visual language, bravely reflect on complex social issues, are extremely sensitive, and, most importantly, offer viewers a fresh perspective and promise an inspiring future for European arthouse cinema. An international jury will evaluate the films in competition, with the winner receiving a 8,000 euro prize.

This programme is designed for the youngest viewers and those dipping their toes into the world of film festivals for the very first time. It features a unique selection of animated films about family adventures and friendship meant to stimulate curiosity about the world. The young cinemagoers will also have a chance to attend a special opening celebration.
