Short Film Competition

Our sixth annual competition drew a remarkable range of films responding to the theme Connection and Disruption. The calibre of entries was our strongest yet, showcasing inventive and impactful storytelling. We were excited to honour three outstanding winners: a sci-fi dystopian short, a nature documentary and a comedy.
