These new authors play with the form and give an air of freshness to each of the films, without forgetting a modern formal approach and an approximation to new narratives. This Shortcat2021 selection brings the New Catalan Wave to a next level, visca el futur!
This year we’ve had a great jury to whom we’d like to give a big thank you for the enormous task they’ve done during the past months. Thanks Cosimo Santoro (The Open Reel), Èrika Sánchez (Antivaho Cinematográfico), Mireia Graell (Ringo Media), Stefan Ivancic (Locarno International Film Festival - International Film Festival Rotterdam) and Alice Kharoubi (Festival de Cannes).
