Since 2019, 10 emblematic European festivals organises the European Short Film Audience Award (ESFAA): a selection of the very best European short films of last year awarded with a national audience award. After winnning the favour of their national audience, 10 short films are on a quest to win the hearts of 511 million Europeans, who are invited to vote in favour of their favourite short film!
The principle is simple: 10 short films, 10 festivals, 10 audiences to charm, 10 votes, one winner chosen as the European Short Film Audience Award after a one-year tour.
Follow the journey of the participating short films! Verdict of this 2021/2022 tour during the 25th Brussels Short Film Festival in April!
