Collecting the best cinema, animation, scripts and music videos of different genres in order to unite people - these are the main goals of the Friday Shorts festival, which invites participants and spectators to Bratislava.

Friday Shorts is dedicated to finding diamonds in the rough, gems from the art world that may not yet have been able to shine in all their brilliance, but clearly have the potential and artistic value. This is the beauty of festivals like Fridayshorts, where you can see something special: art that is inaccessible to the average audience and hidden from the majority.

Our festival is a space of communication, an opportunity not only to study something special and identify current trends, but also to communicate with people who are truly passionate about cinema and have great understanding in its various fields.
