We feel that short films are a perfect platform for science fiction stories, many ideas just won’t stretch to a feature.

Every year we receive hundreds of excellent films and it is a challenging task to select for our shorts programme. We have put together four programmes, each showcasing a cross-section of countries, styles and sensibilities.

Enjoy.
