ShortCutz | Weekly Session #306
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.
The special guest for this session will be announced soon! Stay Tuned!
The Official Competition

Bloodhounds, hunting horns and classic costumes: the drag hunt is a spectacular race on horseback through the Dutch landscape. In this theatrical imitation of the fox hunt, the drag man imitates the fox, and the dogs are the leading actors. What motivates the riders of the drag hunt to maintain this tradition full of etiquette?
Patty Stenger | Animation | 02’25’’
Margot is neatly nursed by her daughter. But Margot doesn’t want to sit on the couch in a stain-resistant dress, waiting for her death. She wants another man in her life! She approaches men through personal ads in the newspaper. She wants to dance! And smoke! And drink! Her daughter lights a candle for her deceased father every day and angrily throws the men out of the house. She also tries to get rid of the increasing number of flies. In vain, the flies turn out to be Margot’s friends. And fly she will.
Mipham Chhowing | Live-Action | 08’16’’
‘Our Fate’ (better known as ‘Lotgenoten’) is a short film about how young people from difficult home situations try to find a way to express their pain and frustrations. One escapes into his made-up world, the other tries to numb his pain, and another expresses it aggressively toward the outside world. It is only outside that they can find peace amongst each other.
