Grief and heartbreak juxtaposed with renewal and new beginnings shape this year’s short film competition. With films from across the world including Lithuania, France, Iran and Scotland, and featuring powerhouse performances from some of Britain’s finest acting talents, the programme is a showcase for the power of storytelling within a limited runtime. Competing for the £15,000 prize to aid future projects, each film offers hope for cinema and the next generation of talent.
