Shortcutz Amsterdam is a platform for new Dutch filmmakers. We have weekly screenings at ‘de kring’, where we screen two short films in competition from new Dutch film talent (each team does a Q&A afterwards). We also receive a special guest, someone established in the industry, to share their knowledge with the ones who are starting out.

At the end of each month, a jury team selects their favourite movie as the winner of the month. Our jury team is composed of actor Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner); producer Jan Harlan (The Shining), director Hany Abu-Assad (The Mountain Between Us), director Roel Reiné (Marvel's Inhumans); actress Willeke van Ammelrooy (Antonia's Line); actor Tygo Gernandt (Van God Los); director Eddy Terstall (Simon); producer Pieter Kuijpers (Van God Los); Marina Blok, Head of Drama ntr; actor Vincent van Ommen (Amsterdam Heavy), Nederlands Film Festival programmer Claire van Daal; EYE senior programmer and head of acquisitions René Wolf, actress Sigrid ten Napel (Penoza), and street-artist Laser 3.14.

We also give the audience the opportunity to help us choose the best in upcoming Dutch talent. For our Audience Award, we tour with our compilation of 7 short films (Winners of the Month), from December until the 17th of January, in more than 20 cities and 4 different continents.
