12-13th May, Cine Lumiere, Institut Francais, London

This edition of the Short Film Festival, ‘In Short, Europe’, entitled Awakening, is organised into four strands: Explore, Grow, Surround and Dream and invites you to imagine new beginnings, reflect on your past experiences and dare to dream of a brighter future.

On the occasion of Europe Day, EUNIC London, the EU Delegation to the United-Kingdom and the Institut français du Royaume-Uni team up to present a festival highlighting the outstanding short film work from 25 European countries in animation, fiction and documentary.

The programme has been curated by Ellie Hales, Film Programmer at Leeds International Film Festival.

From the comfort of a beautiful Croatian forest to the bustling streets of Glasgow on a Saturday night, from an isolated summer house in the French countryside to an apartment block in the bitterly cold Romanian winter. These films transport you to another country, expose you to a different culture and serve as a reminder that although we all have so many differences, we all have the same ability to dream.
