The winner of this competition will win a EUR 1,500 prize.

Among the most anticipated movies of the festival is the UK short film “Stutterer” (directed by Benjamin Cleary), a drama which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film at the 88^th Oscars ceremony.

The audience will also have the opportunity to watch the animation “Sunday Lunch”, written and directed by Celine Devaux, which was the winner of the Best short Animation Film at the César Awards in 2016.

The film festival will also screen Romanian short films, such as “O noapte in Tokotiki”, directed by Roxana Stroe, which depicts the birthday celebration of a 18 year-old teenage girl called Geanina. The short film received the Special Prize of the Generation 14plus International Jury at the Berlin International Film Festival.
