T-Port Lighthouse Selections presents a premier collection of European and International short films. Each year, T-Port invites two guest curators from leading festivals worldwide to select their favourite short films from the platform. These films are showcased on T-Port and promoted to industry professionals and new audiences.

This year, our guest curators are Kasia Karwan and Jukka-Pekka Laakso, who have curated their selection from all films submitted to Lighthouse over the past year. The selection screened in Tampere offers a glimpse into the 30 films chosen, presented in a 96-minute program. Professional users can view the full programme on tportmarket.com.

T-Port, based in Berlin, is a non-profit organization that supports emerging filmmakers and short films, backed by Creative Europe MEDIA.
