Dear Young Jury Members, you will watch carefully selected short films – titles that are not in the cinema or on TV, produced in various parts of the world. You will be able to watch animations, feature, and experimental films. You will meet the film creators, who will tell you about their films and their work on them. And the most important thing – it will be you, who will select the films that will be awarded.
