In an era when storytelling formats are evolving rapidly, how can short films stay relevant and resonate with emerging audiences? This panel explores the intersection between short films, television series and the digital platforms that shape contemporary viewing habits. Are traditional festival models outdated in the face of games, AI, VR, participatory interactivity, web series and social media platforms like TikTok?

This talk is part  of a joint European panel series on “Film Festivals  And Their New Realities”. Hosted by ESFN (European Short Film Network)
