The MIOB in Shorts Award is part of the first action programme of MIOB (Moving Images – Open Borders), active since 2020. It celebrates outstanding European short films and stands out for its unique approach: the winner is chosen by the audience. Each MIOB festival member nominates two European short films, which are then made available online for free, allowing audiences across Europe to watch and vote for their favorite.
In 2024, we launched a new version of the project: twelve short films were screened at the FilmFestival Cottbus (November 5–10, 2024), where audiences had the chance to vote directly in the cinema.
The journey continued at the Crossing Europe Film Festival Linz (April 29 – May 4, 2025), where audiences once again had the opportunity to vote for their favorite short film.
The next stop is the European Film Festival Palić, taking place from July 19 to 25, 2025.
The winner will be announced at the 35th FilmFestival Cottbus (November 4–9, 2025), following the final round of audience voting.
