International Competition

The heart of the festival! 8 programs packed with the most exciting international short films of the last two years. Films about departure, about spaces of possibility, about self-discovery and self-assertion - and about the potential to deal with the repressive forces of this world. Everything is in motion here, is revealed, finds form and looks to the future.
