Synopsis

Of almost 500 submissions, the 11 best, which were chosen by the curators Arash and Arman T. Riahi,  will be shown in competition. A whole range of other outstanding works will also be screened – outside the competition and within different thematic sections – as was done in previous years of the Festival. What all the shorts have in common is the desire for a human, fair and happy existence not at all lacking in that one special thing... (All you need is) love. Come, watch, enjoy!
