Time flies when you are getting fun! But we are arriving at the last session of 2022.

Get ready for a great session with 4 short films straight from our official selection! After each screening, we interview the team behind the film and get to know more about their process and vision.

After the session, join us for some NETWORKING DRINKS with De Kring’s hand-curated music programme in collaboration with Niks Door Niemand. You've come to know two of the Niks Door Niemand DJs in the last seven sessions. This time they'll be hosting a selection of live artists, followed by a DJ set meant to make you groove for this closing Shortcutz event of the year.

(Tickets available from November 4th)

Hot Tub Suicide

Eva Zoë Heijnen | Live-Action | 07'00''

Successful hot tub streamer Maisha oozes confidence in her online streams but is actually drowning in depression. During a stream, viewers provoke Maisha to drop her fake happiness act and show them the ‘real Maisha”, leading to unforeseen tragic consequences.

Tipping Point
Tipping Point

Bart de Piraat | Animation | 10’00"

Tipping Point tells the story of Sustania, a world that is, in a sense, literally thrown off balance when its inhabitants start exploiting a previously inaccessible part of their world.

Nocturne
Nocturne

Jordy Tempelman | Experimental | 09'19''

Entangled in a dark dream, HIM finds HER- searching for the true meaning of happiness. When HIM begins to lose himself in his endless search, he is confronted with the truth about his reality.

Primus
Primus

Jonas Smulders | Experimental | 06’45"

Every individual long for love. Feeling, receiving, and giving love is an essential part of a worthwhile life. What you desire from another is more often a reflection of yourself. In a laundromat that seems to have no end, Joep (29) and Gonda (45) are waiting for someone who can fulfil their wish for love.
