Shorts New Talents Competition: Animation 1

PÖFF Shorts 2023

Whether there’s no single bone in your body or it’s covered all over by soft colourful fur, this screening is especially for you! The PÖFF Shorts New Talents Competition programme for animated films offers a daring, unexpected and fresh view on an art form that knows no boundaries. It’s always interesting to see how young filmmakers observe the world and what are the trends and topics that influence them to make a film. From a personal approach to imaginary fantasy and non-narrative expression, these animations follow topical subjects as refugee crises, underground cultures and cruel aristocratic pastime sports. Foremost this carefully curated selection of films is a wide scale insight to humanity. Tragic, funny and weird stories teach us once again that bigger than anything is love. A suffocating love.
