This year, we were once again able to recognize several short films from our program with three jury awards worth €1,000 each and three special mentions worth €500 each. One prize and one mention were awarded in each of the three categories. Discover here the winners in each category and the members of the respective juries. These awards are made possible thanks to the support of the National Lottery and its players, as well as the City of Brussels.
