What if we formed a football club out of directors? This is a proposal from Piotr Czerkawski, curator of the Shortlist section, who included in the programme the most interesting Polish short films.

The Shortlist is a special (competitive) programme of the New Horizons Festival, composed of short films competing for the Zuzanna Jagoda Kolska Award. The 25th edition of the Festival runs from 13 to 27, July in Wrocław.

"(…) there’s only one thing I can do today—invite this year’s short film directors to form a football club.
I imagine FC Shortlist as a team of ambitious outsiders who, though confident in their individual skills, prioritize teamwork above all. That’s no surprise—they share a common goal: to defeat the favourites and stay in viewers’ memories long after the final whistle.”
