Tiger Awards Competition for Short Films

PROGRAMME 2015

Next to the festival's Hivos Tiger Awards Competition, the short films have their own competition.

What differentiates this from the Hivos Tiger Awards Competition is the fact that it's not just for young and upcoming talents; all filmmakers have a chance at winning. Each of the three equal Tiger Awards for Short Films comes with €3.000 and a video camera. In addition, the jury selects the IFFR nomination for the short film category of the European Film Awards (EFA). This selected film is in the running for the European Film Award for Short Film 2015.

Films in ‘Tiger Awards Competition for Short Films’

Our Body
Dane Komljen IFFR 2015

Modernism's breath of fresh air is no more than a spirit from the recent past in the declining world of Our Body. Can it be re-awakened with a purification ritual?
Things
Ben Rivers IFFR 2015 20′

A four seasons' fable, we see a kaleidoscope of magic and uncertainty in Things, incredibly Ben Rivers' fifteenth film at IFFR since his 2007 debut.
Swimming in Your Skin Again
Terence Nance IFFR 2015

Intensely musical film about the spiritual anchorages of life in and around Miami. Drenched in the heat, spirit and landscape of Southern Florida.
Night Soil - Fake Paradise
Melanie Bonajo IFFR 2015

Study into the hallucinatory ayahuasca plant's healing power for modern man. On the limits of Western medicine, love, feminism and eco-consciousness.
