European Shorts 2020
The European Shorts section of the 26th Sarajevo Film Festival boasts 13 films hailing from 9 European countries. This year, the section unites filmmakers from Belgium, France, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, Palestine, Poland, Sweden and Switzerland across three thematic slots.
Sarajevo Film Festival is proud to present this slate of films that reflect what the European Shorts section stands for: young, European authors who are not afraid to break the mold, experiment with form, and create brave work exploring the most challenging of themes.
Films in the European Shorts section compete alongside the regional Competition Shorts for an EFA (European Film Academy) candidacy and to qualify for an Academy Award (Oscar®) nomination.
