PÖFF Shorts – Festival of Short and Animation Films 2025 (11.11-19.11.2025)
How do you reconnect with the world when loss seems to encompass everything? Through taste, touch, sound—or through memory? In a world of constant change, young filmmakers explore the anchors that tether them to physical reality: their own memories, those of their communities, and those of their families. The 2025 New Talents, hailing from various continents, grapple with the meanings of adulthood and belonging in unique ways. Their work reveals a broad palette of techniques and approaches, from sci-fi to documentary and beyond. Editing becomes a form of direction. They weave in magical realism, found footage, folklore, and restorations of past events to explore the what-ifs of human experience. With razor-sharp focus, these films navigate the challenges of life, telling stories that make you ache and smile — and sometimes both at once.
