This September, Kuumba vzw proudly presents the first edition of Schijnwerpers Kortfilmfestival, a low-threshold platform for and by young film talent in Anderlecht. Whether youโve studied film or are self-taught, if youโve got a powerful story to tell, we want to see it.
We pay extra attention to short fiction films, documentaries, music videos, and sketches that engage with underrepresented and urgent themes, including:

At Schijnwerpers Kortfilmfestival, the audience has the final word. The film that moves, inspires or excites our audience the most, takes it home.
Because in the end, what matters is the connection between your story and the people watching it.
