We are extremely proud to present the brand new Shortcat 2024. This selection has been delicately curated, showing once again the potential of the short film as an artistic and creative platform, and is a sample of the very interesting talent among the Catalan contemporary creators. Shortcat 2024 is a diverse, bold and fresh catalogue that ranges from fiction to documentary and echoes important topics like historical memory, human relationships or social issues.
