IMAGINE EVERYTHING COMPETITION

PLAYGROUNDS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2026

With this edition of PIFF we are paying homage to the motto that has been the engine for Playgrounds in the past 20 years: “Imagine Everything”. This selection showcases 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?”

One of them will take home an encouraging prize of € 1000,- but all of them have challenged our senses.
