The films featured herein have each been honoured with the respective national audience award at one of 10 co-operating festivals, namely Clermont-Ferrand (France), Encounters (Great Britain), Go Short (Netherlands), Curtas Vila do Conde (Portugal), interfilm Berlin (Germany), Alcine (Spain), Short Waves (Poland), BSFF (Belgium), Tampere (Finland) and Wiz-Art (Ukraine). Now they are being presented in two blocks at the festivals in question, in the scope of a competition, with each work hoping to win the favour of over 500 million European short film enthusiasts.
