Competition Programme – Short Film 2017

Since its beginnings, the Competition Programme – Short Film has been a significant platform for the discovery and promotion of new regional talents. While limited by its duration, the short film format offers vast possibilities for creative expression, and is open to a wide range of story types, which is why it is considered the least restrictive of film formats.

In recent years, we have witnessed an obvious leap forward in both the quantity and quality of short films being produced in our region. Of the 10 films selected from among 500 applications, four are being presented as world premieres in this year's edition, while four see their international premieres and the other two are screening for the first time in the region.
