Short Film Competition

Women are complex and under constant pressure; men find themselves trapped, grappling with new roles, while the world around them offers little cause for hope. These are the themes explored by the documentaries, animations, and narrative shorts selected for the International Short Film Competition at the 65th Krakow Film Festival. In this oldest competition of the Krakow Film Festival, 37 films, including 13 documentaries, 14 fiction films and 12 animations, will contend for the Golden Dragon, three Silver Dragons and a place on the shortlist for the European Film Award and the Academy Award.
