Short Shorts from Europe

At a joint evening of selected European short films nine members of the EUNIC Ireland cluster (European Union National Institutes for Culture) each present a short film from their country at the IFI in Dublín, Galway and the Cork Film Festival. The audience will be asked to vote for their favourite film after the screenings. Dare to have a good time with the best European short films!

Instituto Cervantes Dublin presents Una casa de campo. The casual encounter between Jorge and Fran in a bar reveals that we are neighbors of more people than of those who live in our same hallway. And that not always a wall is capable of separating us, not at least as much as we want. Door neighbors, wall neighbors.
