Trains rushing into the distance, sleepy waiting rooms, chance encounters in a compartment or on a night tram, long journeys to the final destination that can change a person's life. The short film programme connects the theme of travelling by rail, offering a diverse range of stories in terms of genre. During the evening, you will see a comedy about a shared journey by sleeper train from Prague to Budapest. Next, an Oscar-nominated Croatian drama reminiscent of a horrific crime committed in Bosnia 30 years ago. A comedy-drama set in an abandoned railway station about identities and prejudices. And what happens when a random passenger accidentally becomes the driver of a night tram in a Norwegian film? All the films were created by talented authors who show that trains and trams can be not only impressive film backdrops, but also powerful storytelling tools.
The evening's programme was prepared for you by iShorts, an organisation that regularly organises themed screenings of short films.
