Tiger Awards Competition for Short Films   


Next to the festival's Tiger Awards Competition the short films have their own competition: the Tiger Awards Competition for Short Films. Which this year contains 21 candidates. What differentiates this competition from the Tiger Awards Competition is the fact that it's not just for young and upcoming talents; all film makers have a chance at winning.



- Makino Takashi
Generator is a response to the disaster in Fukushima and visualises Tokyo as an eroding metropolis accompanied by Jim O'Rourke’s dark soundscapes.


- Mati Diop
Diop, who won a Tiger Award in 2010 with her short Atlantiques, has two new films including this mysterious tale of a director who gets distracted during a shoot.


- Jeroen Eisinga
Maker Eisinga described this performance - which people can now watch - as 'a liberating experience' during which his body was taken over by insects.
