The SHORT RIGA International Competition looks for distinct auteur expression in short format film and select 35 of the most spectacular findings representing various genres and techniques from all over the world.
The curators work on the film selection by evaluating the submissions and visiting internationally recognized film festivals as well as small regional cinematic events throughout the year. The special personal touch should be found that only a short film can deliver. There are as many films as there are worldviews. There are as many authors as there are stories. The only thing in common is the running time of up to 30 minutes and the author’s individuality that can be sensed by the audience. You will be given a good reason to argue, laugh and burst in tears, often in the presence of creators of these shorts!
