Shortcutz Berlin is a short film screening series and a networking platform for filmmakers, operating as part of the international Shortcutz network. Described as more than a traditional film festival, it focuses on showcasing cinematographic, animated, documentary, and experimental short films, fostering a contact point for new short films and their makers. The event aims to reflect Berlin's cultural life and supports discussion and sharing of ideas among film enthusiasts, professionals, students, and amateurs. Screenings typically take place every second Wednesday of the month at Z-Bar, featuring a themed selection of short films, followed by Q&As with directors. Films must generally be up to 20 minutes long, no older than two years, and have a connection to Berlin (director, crew, cast, or story).
