Since 2019, ten iconic European film festivals have come together each year to bring audiences around the continent a selection of the best of the best of European shorts. Each year, ten National Audience Award -winning short films from the previous year will tour to compete for the European Short Film Audience Award (ESFAA).
Please note that both screenings are free to attend, but due to limited seating, require a ticket. You can get your tickets in advance free of charge at one of our ticket booths.
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. Each of the ten competing films have won a National Audience Award in one of 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)
