Organized by the BuSho International Short Film Festival, the audience award screening of the Dutch short film selection of Shortcutz Amsterdam returns to Hungary. The screenings will take place in two Hungarian cities this year, Debrecen and Budapest.
Every year Shortcutz Amsterdam provides an opportunity for emerging Dutch filmmaking talent to showcase their work, interact with national and international audiences and meet renowned film industry professionals. In collaboration with international partners, audiences worldwide are invited to vote for their favorite Dutch short film of the year in a public vote.
