The Music Film Competition is more than just music videos. It features energetic musicals, rhythm-driven animations, and stories in which music and sound play a role at least as important as the animation itself. The programme includes short films from 2024–2026 from around the world — diverse in form, style, and sound. Here, image meets sound, and emotions have their own soundtrack.

Oberka - Wildbait, dir. Lee Oz, Eliška Oz, Czech Republic 2025, 3’05’’
