The power of short: films compete in the short film selection to three equivalent prizes. Short films can be found at many places during IFFR:
as part of video installations, preceding feature films at Pathé
premieres and, naturally, in combined programmes. Films between 1 and 65
minutes long, from all over the world. There are fiction films,
experimental work and documentaries. Short films prove that filmmakers
play with a whole range of cinematic forms and ideas.
The short films have their own competition at IFFR. What differentiates it from the Tiger Competition for feature-length films is the fact that it’s not
just for young and
upcoming talents; all filmmakers have a chance at winning. The short
films compete for three equal Ammodo
Tiger Short Awards, each worth €5,000.
