Big Names, Short Films

Last year some very special feature films hit the cinemas: the black satire Triangle of Sadness, the virtuoso thriller Decision to Leave, the unparalleled rollercoaster Everything, Everywhere All at Once and the intensely moving portrait Cow. All films with a very distinctive director's signature. And that characteristic signature can already be found in their previous short films. Discover the distinctive voice in earlier work by two-time Golden Palm winner Ruben Östlund, Cannes' Best Director Park Chan-wook, Oscar winner Andrea Arnold and unique creative duo Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
