About this Event
Wow! and Reception is shaping up beautifully.
We’ve received an incredible selection of short films, some guaranteed to scare the silence out of you, while others will take you on unexpected journeys packed with bold questions, sharp social commentary, laugh-out-loud moments, and quiet scenes that speak louder than words.
You’ll be on the edge of your seat, even during the simplest day-in-the-life stories. And we’re thrilled to include an animated piece from a creator you might already know and love.
The full lineup will be announced in just a few weeks, and trust us you won't want to miss it.
So come out and make some noise with us! In the meantime, check out this playlist curated by Ami, the festival’s director, for a taste of what’s to come at Wow! The UnShushed! Fim Festival 2025.
