Shortest night

This programme is designed for short film-loving night owls. Now a long-standing tradition, the Shortest Night will feature as many as 20 films and result in a screening lasting an impressive 5 hours. There will be plenty of music, colour, and experimentation. Numerous short walks will take you from one world to the next, all while keeping you up until dawn. Many of the films included were first screened at prestigious film festivals like Cannes, Venice, Locarno and Clermont-Ferrand.

Competition

Restlessly ambitious, emerging directors never fail to surprise with their early mastery and stylistic distinctiveness. These women and men are keen to explore the possibilities of visual language, to reflect boldly on complicated social issues, to let sensitivity and a tenderly romantic attitude in. Most importantly, they offer audiences a fresh perspective and portend a bright future for Europe’s auteur cinema.

Films
