A collection of life affirming shorts from 19 European countries.

EUNIC London in collaboration with the European Union Delegation to the UK is pleased to present the third edition of the In Short, Europe short film festival, taking place online from 7-16 May.

This edition, themed Happy Together, is organised in three strands: Hope, Magic and Life’s Little Disappointments and invites us to look at the bright side, embrace moments of joy, lift our spirits and dares us to dream.
