The programme of the Short Film Competition of the 11th WAMA FF includes 25 films.

- This year's Short Film Competition creates a multi-voiced story about closeness, care, memory, identity, and responsibility for others," says Marta Karnkowska, festival organizing director and Short Film Competition programmer. "Many films take their starting points from the most intimate experiences: the need for love, tenderness, and acceptance, first feelings, unrequited desires, parenthood, caring for loved ones, family tensions, separations, and attempts to find one's place in relationships. These are difficult topics that require thought and reflection, but at the same time, they are often inextricably linked with fantastic, intelligent, and effortless humour."
