Now the partner festival is also coming to us, presenting a selection of queer, lesbian, and gay short films, all of which, with one exception, have not yet been shown in Regensburg. The 32nd Short Film Week will take place from March 5 to 15, 2026, at four venues and will show around 250 short films from all over the world in 50 programs.
