Since 2019, 10 emblematic European festivals have organised the European Short Film Audience Award (ESFAA): a selection of the very best European short films of last year awarded with a national audience award go on a tour to win the title of the European audiences’ favourite short film.
The principle is simple: 10 short films, 10 festivals, 10 audiences to charm, 10 votes, one winner chosen as the European Short Film Audience Award after a one-year tour.
The competition will take place between 10 short films which have already won a national audience prize in the following festivals:
Brussels Short Film Festival (Belgium)
Short Waves Festival (Poland)
Curtas Vila do Conde International Film Festival (Portugal)
Lviv International Short Film Festival Wiz Art (Ukraine)
Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival Bristol (United-Kingdom)
ALCINE – Festival de Cine de Alcalá de Henares (Spain)
Interfilm International Film Festival Berlin (Germany)
Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival (France)
Tampere Film Festival (Finland)
Go Short International Short Film Festival Nijmegen (Netherlands)
