ShortCutz | Weekly Session #321
Every session, you can watch short films straight from our Official Selection, followed by a ‘gezellige’ Q&A with the teams. The Sessions are English spoken, and the films are subtitled in English.
After each screening, we interview the team behind the film and get to know more about their process and vision.
We’re excited to welcome the incomparable director and screenwriter Martin Koolhoven (Brimstone, Oorlogswinter, Suzy Q) as our Special Guest and hear everything about his latest television venture, Koolhoven Presenteert, which is currently airing. We also want to find out what’s next on his creative horizon.

Check out the cool short films and teams you can watch/meet this session:
Jottum Kok | Live-Action | 20’00’’
Tomorrow Will Be Better is a slice-of-life short film that explores the complex relationship between a lesbian daughter and her straight mother. After an intense break-up with her ex-girlfriend, Jona (24) recently moved back in with her mother, Mirjam (55). Tensions run high on Mirjam’s birthday after it becomes clear she doesn’t regard Jona’s queer identity with the same significance as Jona does. Where Mirjam wants to avoid conflict, Jona wants to have the last word.
Eva Bonnevits | Animation | 06’32’’
I have always feared the doctor, and now so will you. In this fever dream or rather fever nightmare, I will take you on a neverending doctor’s appointment straight out of HELL. By using warped perspectives and over-the-top scenarios, this film will leave an impression that makes your skin crawl.
