The wait is over; we proudly present the official selection of OFF – Odense International Film Festival 2021. Selected for this year’s competition, among 3.229 submissions, are 123 wild, provocative, ravishing, wistful and sharp short films, submitted from almost every corner of the world – from Guatemala to Switzerland, from Poland to Taiwan. A total number of 36 countries are represented in the competition programme this year, and we’re looking forward to welcoming each and every one of them at our festival in August 2021.

Life during a worldwide pandemic. Old age and loneliness. Sex and love. Whimsical animated lines and imaginative documentaries. The competition program’s 123 selected short films come from far and wide, both visually and in terms of content.
