In collaboration with Go Short, the Netherlands’ premier short film festival (April 1–6 in Nijmegen), we explore the power of short-form cinema. Host Hugo Emmerzael sits down with artistic director Mathieu Jansen to explore why short films aren’t just stepping stones but playgrounds for experimentation, bold storytelling, and pushing cinematic boundaries. From urgent reflections on war and occupation to the festival’s first-ever dive into video games, this year’s lineup is breaking new ground and audiences should take note.

Want to be there? We’re giving away two day passes! Email us at [email protected] with your favourite short film, and you might just find yourself at Go Short.
