This initiative brings together a selection of five short films that have stood out across the European film landscape, having been selected, nominated, or awarded the European Short Film prize at the European Film Awards. Each film in the programme was chosen by one of the European Film Academy’s partner festivals, among the most prestigious in Europe.

The programme aims to promote and showcase the short film format, highlighting its essential role in contemporary cinematic creation and providing visibility to new talents in European cinema.

This screening is part of Curtas Vila do Conde’s ongoing commitment to the promotion of high-quality European cinema and the strengthening of international networks for film programming and circulation.
