AFTER-PARTY: 11:00 PM- 01:00 AM
DRESSCODE: FESTIVE
After another season of amazing Weekly Sessionz, it’s time to raise the curtain for the 10th Shortcutz Amsterdam Annual Awards. Here, we celebrate the best Dutch short film talents whose films are nominated for eleven Mr Zee awards. On top of that, to honour our late ambassador, board and jury member Rutger Hauer, we give the Rutger Hauer Award to a person or institution who has impacted the next generation of Dutch filmmakers.
As always, we will be joined by extraordinary guests who will share their inspiring speeches with us. So, at the very least, everyone wins something at the ceremony, a load of inspiration!
The guests who will inspire you this evening will be revealed in the upcoming weeks. Previous guests of Shortcutz Amsterdam Annual Awards include actor Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner); cult film directors Béla Tarr (Satantango) and Peter Greenaway (The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover); documentary legend Heddy Honigmann (Forever); Kubrick's producer Jan Harlan (The Shining), among many others.
RSVP and Plus-one
Please let us know if a nominee can’t attend the ceremony as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we can't have video messages, so we kindly ask you to assign a representative to receive the award in your name, so in case you win, there will be someone to receive your award.
This invitation is only valid for the person nominated + 1.
Every year we struggle with the Annual Awards tickets. We have sold out all the editions so far, some of them in just a few days. If you are interested in more tickets, the tickets will be available from January 9th at www.eyefilm.nl.
Registration
Upon your arrival at Eye (between 19:00 and 19:30), please register at the desk in front of the reception.

Winners will be called on stage to give a brief speech. This may not be longer than a minute. Otherwise, the ceremony will last forever :)
