Euroshorts combines an international short-film competition with screenings of creative advertising from the Museum of Modern Art in New York collection. Organised by Poland’s Young Cinema Foundation, it presents fiction, documentary, animation and experimental work, including debut and student films. Workshops, filmmaker meetings and a touring programme extend its screenings beyond the main festival cities. The festival dates back to a foundation event established in Warsaw in 1992; Gdańsk hosts its premiere events.
The 35th edition dates are 30 November–13 December 2026, with events in Gdańsk, Gdynia, Katowice and Warsaw.

Festival rules
The 2026 international competition accepts fiction, documentary, animation and experimental films made in 2025–2026, from Europe and other continents, with a maximum running time of 30 minutes. Debut and student films are eligible; there is no age limit. Entries are submitted through FilmFreeway. The selection committee chooses approximately 50–100 competition films, and its decision is final.
The submitter must hold the necessary rights and authorises festival screenings without screening fees or royalties. Online screenings for registered users and the 2027 tour require separate consent on the entry form. Withdrawal is permitted within seven days of selection notification, no later than 27 October 2026.
