For this brand new PIFF competition, we were looking for the short film gems that make our hearts stop with their audio-visual beauty, dazzle our minds with their artistry, push conventions and make us constantly wonder: “How on Earth did they make this?”. And the entries did not disappoint!
However, only one of them will take home an encouraging prize of € 1000,- and be crowned the Winner of our Imagine Everything competition.
Here are the wonderful people that we are entrusting this very difficult task! Meet our Imagine Everything Competition judges: Jennny van den Broeke, Hannah Lau Walker and Loek Vugs.
With over ten years of experience within the commercial animation industry, Hannah Lau-Walker has worked at indie studios based out of peoples living rooms all the way to huge production houses in central Soho. She is the founder of She Drew That – a multi-platform community striving to find new ways to develop women’s skills and talents and help in combating the gender inequality found within the animation industry. She has been a host at several Playgrounds events including In Motion London and The Art Department Eindhoven and a co-curator of the PIFF 2025 Saucy Selection.
Jenny van den Broeke is a researcher within the Situated Art, Design and Technology research group, and a tutor on the Photography, Film & the Digital study programme at St. Joost school of Art & Design in Breda. In her own practice she works as a trainer, director, and producer of artistic projects that address social topics. In 2025 she co-founded Studio APVIS. The directors of this Breda- and Amsterdam-based film collective aim to push the boundaries of film and to seek out crossover collaborations. Jenny was part of the 2016 – 2017 generation of Next Talents.
Loek Vugs is a designer, animator, part-time animation teacher from the Netherlands and former Next Talent. In his work he likes exploring minimal designs and patterns while often keeping a tactile, hand drawn feel.
