Main Competition Award
BEST DRAMA SHORT
"Never"
by Wang Wang
Wang Wang’s Never is a poignant meditation on grief, reconciliation, and the power of truth. The film follows a son who, on the anniversary of his father’s death, pushes his comatose mother to his father’s tombstone, only to confront Dr. Li Min, the doctor he holds responsible for his father’s passing. Through restrained yet evocative storytelling, the film unravels the weight of unspoken emotions and reveals a truth that reshapes the protagonist’s understanding of loss. The subdued cinematography, coupled with a muted color palette, enhances the film’s emotional gravity, allowing silence and expression to convey its profound themes.
Anchored by powerful performances, Never delivers an understated yet deeply moving exploration of the human capacity for healing. Wang Wang’s artistic vision aligns seamlessly with his directorial philosophy of evoking genuine emotion, countering the detachment of modern life. The film’s ability to capture universal sorrow and transformation makes it a deserving recipient of Best Drama Short, reaffirming the power of cinema to bridge emotional distances and awaken forgotten feelings.

BEST COMEDY SHORT
"Badmouth Grandma"
by Timothy Blackwood
Badmouth Grandma, directed by Timothy Blackwood, delivers a sharp-witted and unapologetically irreverent take on the precarious landscape of modern comedy. With razor-sharp dialogue and a relentless comedic pace, the film thrives on the absurdity of its premise—one struggling comedian’s race against time, exacerbated by an overbearing roommate and salvaged by an iron-willed, Siberian grandmother whose brutal pragmatism is as hilarious as it is endearing. Blackwood masterfully balances satire and social commentary, transforming the anxieties of contemporary comedians into a riotous sprint toward creative survival. By skewering the hypersensitivity of today’s cultural climate while never losing sight of its heart, Badmouth Grandma proves itself a worthy winner of Best Comedy Short, offering both catharsis and chaos in equal measure.

BEST HORROR SHORT
"The Worms of the Earth"
by Fred Winter
The Worms of the Earth is a masterclass in atmospheric dread, elevating the post-apocalyptic horror genre with an eerie blend of psychological tension and visceral terror. Eschewing the typical reliance on jump scares, Fred Winter crafts a world that feels both desolate and disturbingly alive, where survival is as much about facing the horrors within as it is about fending off the infected outside. The film’s true strength lies in its emotional depth—rooted in the fragile yet resilient bond between its central trio—and the enigmatic power of its young protagonist, whose presence adds a haunting layer of mystery. With striking creature design and a narrative that lingers long after the credits roll, The Worms of the Earth rightfully claims its place as Best Horror Short, proving that true horror lies not just in what hunts us, but in what we are forced to become.

BEST LGBT SHORT
"Single Use"
by Finn Hyndman
Single Use, , is a deeply moving and unflinchingly honest portrayal of love, loss, and the lingering weight of stigma.

More than a poignant character study, Single Use boldly confronts the transactional nature of certain queer relationships and the scars—both emotional and societal—that persist. With its nuanced storytelling and profound emotional depth, Single Use is a deserving recipient of Best LGBT Short, offering an urgent and compassionate exploration of identity, resilience, and redemption.

BEST DISABILITY SHORT
"Special Doctor"
by Sofia Vitver
Special Doctor is a profoundly evocative meditation on trauma, healing, and the unseen wounds of war. Through the harrowing yet deeply human story of Alexander, a retired soldier tormented by unbearable pain, and his housekeeper, equally scarred by conflict, the film transcends the typical narrative of disability, delving into the psychological and existential dimensions of suffering. Dr. Marta’s enigmatic presence offers a glimmer of transformation, yet her sudden absence forces the characters—and the audience—to confront a reality far more intricate than a simple cure. Vitver’s direction is both restrained and deeply affecting, crafting a film that lingers in the mind, not for its resolution, but for its unflinching exploration of resilience and self-reckoning. A deserving winner of Best Disability Short, Special Doctor is a testament to cinema’s power to challenge, heal, and illuminate the depths of the human experience.

BEST STUDENT SHORT
"They Left for the Abyss"
by Max Larsson
This short is a mesmerizing and introspective exploration of isolation, friendship, and the creeping presence of the unknown. Set against the stark, atmospheric backdrop of a quiet Nordic village, the film masterfully intertwines psychological depth with an eerie, almost supernatural undertone. Larsson crafts a narrative where silence speaks louder than words, as the protagonist’s self-imposed seclusion slowly unravels, mirrored by the ominous appearance of a fissure in the town’s park—an abyss that is as much metaphorical as it is physical. With its haunting cinematography, subtle yet gripping performances, and a steady build of tension, They Left for the Abyss is an astonishing achievement in student filmmaking. A rightful winner of Best Student Short, it signals the arrival of a director with a keen eye for emotional complexity and unsettling beauty.

BEST NO WORD SHORT
"Blueness"
by Francis Kong
Blueness is a hypnotic and visually striking meditation on fear, isolation, and the uncanny. With no dialogue to anchor its surreal premise, the film relies on haunting imagery and an evocative soundscape to submerge the audience in a dreamlike state where reality and illusion blur. The sight of a shark drifting through the towering skyline of New York is both absurd and unsettling, an ethereal specter of dread that mirrors the protagonist’s internal struggle. Drawing inspiration from early silent cinema and German expressionism, Kong masterfully crafts a nightmarish yet strangely poetic experience, where fear is not merely an obstacle but an entity of its own. A worthy winner of Best No Word Short, Blueness is a testament to the power of pure visual storytelling, leaving an indelible mark long after its enigmatic final frame.

BEST MOBILE SHORT
"The Meaning of No"
by Reid McGowan and Mik Gojic
This short is a raw and immediate exploration of how emotions shift in mere moments, masterfully executed in a single continuous shot.

A well-deserved winner of Best Mobile Short, the film is both a technical feat and an emotionally resonant piece that lingers long after the final frame.

CINEMATOGRAPHY
"Secluded"
by Gabriel Lar Thorarinsson and Iver Schøyen Løkken,
Secluded is a visually poetic exploration of solitude, loss, and the slow, delicate process of healing. Gabriel Lar Thorarinsson’s cinematography serves as the film’s beating heart, capturing the protagonist’s isolation with a meticulous interplay of light and shadow, framing his world as both vast and suffocating. The contrast between cold, desaturated tones and the warmth introduced by the presence of the enthusiastic waitress visually mirrors his emotional journey—gradually transitioning from detachment to reconnection. Every frame is composed with intention, allowing silence and space to speak as loudly as words. A deserving winner of Best Cinematography, Secluded transforms a deeply personal story into an immersive visual experience, proving that cinematography is not merely about aesthetics but about evoking emotion with every shot.
