Blink of an Eye: Shorts Programme 2

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.
