SHORT MATTERS! is the European Film Academy's short film tour which
brings the short films nominated for the European Film Awards to a
series of film festivals across Europe and beyond. As a new partner,
world-wide short film distribution company Shorts International supports
this year's SHORT MATTERS! programme giving these films an additional
platform at 15 festivals which have already confirmed their
participation and will screen the programme.

The programme brings the nominated short films to audiences in Bulgaria,
Croatia, Finland, Germany, Israel, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal,
Serbia, Spain, and Sweden, and this year's cycle will be kicked off by
screenings at the Tampere Film Festival (4 March) and the Sofia
International Film Festival (14 & 18/19 March).
