15 finalist films in this year’s Short Film Competition bring stories from different cultures to Ankara. Selected from 165 submissions from 36 countries, the finalists are set to compete for Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay and the Audience Award — judged by both the festival jury and audiences.

This year’s jury includes Anne Gaschütz, director of Filmfest Dresden; Anna Skočdopolová from the One World Human Rights Film Festival; and Osman Şişman, the independent academic and publisher.

You can watch the finalist films for free at Goethe-Institut Ankara between May 23–29 and vote for your favourite to win the Audience Award.
