You are invited!
Short Film is a blessed area within the Art of Film where there is still headroom for experimentation, and white spaces left on the map to explore. In our view, much of the best works out there are made by filmmakers trying to establish themselves as professionals, and often without the biggest of budgets.
The 30th Anniversary Edition of Minimalen Short Film Festival invites you to take part in this year's events: Norwegian, Nordic and International films in competition, hot prizes and a chance to check out what goes on right now within the creative part of filmmaking — whether you would like to explore the World, the Nordic region or Norway.
