Shorts Programme 3

Shorts Programme

We love short films and think they are a wonderful format for science fiction themes. Each year we receive hundreds of excellent films and it is a challenging task to select for our shorts programme.

We have put together three programmes, each showcasing a cross-section of countries, styles and sensibilities.

We are delighted to announce the winner of this year’s Best Short Film Award is BRUTAL RELAX, directed by David Muñoz and Adrián Cardona (see shorts programme 1).
