SHIFT Film Festival 2022

Shifting Distance.

Geplaatst op 16 december 2021

The SHIFT Film Festival invites all filmmakers and film viewers to an experience of connecting with like-minded people in a festival space: take part in Short Film Competition & Director's Village and network with filmmakers from all over the world!

SHIFT Film Festival 2022

We celebrate the eighth edition of the SHIFT Film Festival from september 14-18, 2022 and we do so in spite, and maybe especially because, of the crazy times that 2020 & 2021 have brought us so far.

This year’s edition of SHIFT Film Festival will run onsite in Heerlen. Filmmakers will enhance their filmmaking skills during our new, unique program Director's Village and the SHIFT Workshops. We also host the Limburg Film Pitch, where you can win a grant of €2.000. Last but not least, we have lots of short films, feature films in collaboration with Filmhuis De Spiegel and a special Ukrainian Focus
