The Berlin International Film Festival, aka Berlinale, has announced the short film line-up for its 2019 edition, which will take place from February 7-17.
Twenty-four short films from 17 countries will compete for the Golden and Silver Bear, the Audi Short Film Award (endowed with 20,000 euros) and a nomination as “Berlin Short Film Candidate for the European Film Awards 2019.”
Among those 24 films, there’s at least four animated shorts including two new projects from Hungary: Luca Tóth’s Mr. Mare and Flóra Anna Buda’s Entropia (pictured above). The Hungarian selections at Berlin are particularly notable because last year Hungarian filmmaker Réka Bucsi won the festival’s Audi Short Film Award — and its accompanying 20,000 euro cash prize — for her animated short Solar Walk, which world premiered in Berlin.
