Sometimes you do not need two hours to enter another world. This year’s short film programme brings together horror, science fiction, erotica, family films, Swedish genre filmmaking and some of the stranger corners of fantastic cinema — all packed into carefully curated screenings.

Weird & Wonderful World

Reality gets blurry in a collection of films exploring shifting identities, technology, belief, life, death and everything in between. Strange, funny, unsettling and difficult to put neatly into a box.
