The two categories of the international competition for shorts are narrative and non-narrative. From 905 entries, 43 productions were selected (30 narrative and 13 non-narrative). The winners in both categories are granted the Dioraphte Grand Prix HAFF and a cash prize of € 2,500, made available by the Dioraphte Foundation. The winners in this competition will be invited as guest curators to compile a carte blanche programme for the next festival.
