After close considerations, honorable DIPLOMA for the best SHORT FILM of EU FILM FESTIVAL 2024 goes to short film production DEMI-DEMONS (dir. Martin Gerigk, 12min., 2024, GERMANY)>>>Demi-Demons is an essay film about the contradictions of contemporary existence, which separate us from our natural instincts, opening abysses within us. The glorification of the hermaphrodite, the hedonism of virtual realities, the search for new levels of physical attraction and forms of higher consciousness, ambivalence towards sexual reproduction, these abysses embody the existential struggles inherent in navigating the terrain between instinct and enlightenment in a rapidly evolving world. Demi-Demons is made and animated from vintage photos and collages, creating a surreal and thought-provoking atmosphere;

We are now looking forward to the upcoming edition in 2025 in new cities, new venues across Europe showcasing new European short films programmings to wide and new audiences; Open call for submissions to EU FILM FESTIVAL 2025 will be available soon!!!
