The short films in this program have one thing in common: they were made possible in part by the BREEDBEELD project grant, with funding from the Flemish Government . Furthermore, these films stand out primarily for their diversity of genres, styles, and ideas, which is precisely the purpose of this project grant: to give new talent the opportunity and financial leeway to create new work, experiment, and further explore the medium.
