Berlinale Shorts announces 20 short films

January 16, 2024

And now, to finish up today’s announcements, Berlinale Shorts announces 20 short films, entering into dialogue with one another and reflect on the status quo of our world today. Delicate pencil drawings meet unconventionally told fictions, personal essays encounter hyper-realistic computer animations and absurd humour rubs shoulders with critical analysis.

Six of the selected works are by directors who have already contributed films to previous editions of Berlinale Shorts. The 14 world premieres and six international premieres are nominated for the Golden Bear for Best Short Film and the Silver Bear Jury Prize (Short Film).

In addition, the Berlin Short Film Candidate for the European Film Awards will be selected. The prize-winners will be determined by a three-member international jury and revealed during the official Award Ceremony on February 24.
