Mark your calendar for Friday the 16th to measure the temperature of today’s contemporary culture through the powerful lens of moving images.

From the warmth of human connections to the coldness of isolation, from the heat of passion to the chill of modern anxieties, you will experience short films that capture the infinite ways temperature influences our society. The festival is open to everyone and aims to promote dialogue, networking, and collaboration among talented students and film enthusiasts from around the world.
