PÖFF Shorts – Festival of Short and Animation Films 2025 (11.11-19.11.2025)
This programme explores art as the vessel of transformation. Weaving together stories of creativity, identity, and resilience across landscapes, these films take you along for a stroll from the coastal weavers, who silently craft in the fabric of time, to a buried album beneath Orkney’s soil set to challenge our perception of patience. Bringing tradition and vivid self-expression, a Liberian artist, seeking refuge from war, uses his distinct otherworldly art to channel the trauma of displacement, while another artist, a filmmaker, deals with loss, by reclaiming "Reindeer Queer" as a symbol of resistance, when navigating his grief and identity. Among these stories we are also invited to join an intimate exploration of three young men in their chase of an ambitious dream of becoming trap music stars.
