This year's European Short Film Festival was yet another great success. We received over 130 submissions from 15 countries. Over the course of three days, some 45 European short films were presented to an enthusiatic audience of short film lovers.
Thanks to all filmmakers and film schools who sent in their latest productions. It was a difficult choice for the jury to select from so many excellent productions. A special thanks to a great audience, their wonderful feedback, and their continued interest in European short films, and of course to the jury and the whole organizing team. We all look forward to the 7th European Short Film Festival at MIT in 2011. Please check back this site for announcements on next year's festival.
