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

Curator’s Note:
Short films have the ability to open our eyes and minds to new stories, giving us a glimpse into lives different from our own. This collection of short films from 24 different European countries serves not only to awaken the audience to new perspectives, but shows the characters and narratives of each film experiencing their own awakenings too.
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.
