BEST SHORT FILM GOES TO 🥁🎊🥂
The Bathtub by Sergi Marti Maltas - Spain
"Perfect example of how important story is. Wonderful script and performances." @dopudmike
The Bathtub is an amazing example that you don't need a million dollar budget and a bunch of locations, action sequences, and stunts to make an amazing short film. You just need a great idea, great actors and dedication to see it through. We could not be more thrilled to name it our best short film.
Thank you to all that have submitted! We cannot wait for our next festival!

Best Director: Another One by Theo Papadoulakis:
This powerful and moving film was created in Greece by an amazing group of individuals wanting to tell a powerfully true story. Following an elderly fisherman who is being followed by a young boy in drenched clothing, it shadows the haunting feeling those familiar with the story of a boy named Alan Kudi may feel still to this day.
As for the director Theo Papadoulakis, it is not a surprise he was able to create such a powerful film. Having won many awards in the past, and directed over 80 episodes and numerous films, Theo is a very talented and well recognized individual. We are honored to have been able to share this award with him, and his team 🥂

Best Student Film: Voyager by Pablo Pagán - Spain
"Voyager is proposed as a contemporary exploration of the neo-noir genre, building on the foundations of its precursors. The short film delves into a fantastic theme, which allows us to treat classic noir elements, such as ambivalent mysteries, immoral characters, and a dishonest world that the protagonist must maneuver. However, in essence, it's a story of a character who, devoid of power throughout his life, regains control of it."
From the trailer to the director comments, this film truly captures the essence in which they aim. The suspense keeps your eyes locked to the screen and it is crazy to think this is a student film. We are excited to see what the future has in store for this crew 🥳
