In total, 153 short films representing 34 countries, including 23 European, were chosen, of which 127 will be judged by two juries of industry professionals and the public.

National Competition Jury

The heavy task of choosing the Belgian shorts has fallen upon Anders Narverud Moen, Julia Ocker and Ron Dyens. Since 2012, Anders Narverud Moen has been director of the Fredrikstad Animation Festival, the oldest and largest animation festival in the Nordic region. Julia Ocker is a filmmaker, designer and writer based in Stuttgart. Her films cover a wide range of subjects, from the dark and frightening Kellerkind to the ingeniously funny Zebra. Finally, Ron Dyens is the founder of Sacrebleu Productions, which walked away with a Palme d’Or in 2010 for Serge Avédikian's Barking Island.
