The 12 short films, screened before the Competition films, come with dark, bloody or whimsical stories about werewolves (Luna), people eaten from the inside, literally (Bulimia Purpura), or alien civilization where the machines rebelled against their creators (R'ha). Shhh is a Guillermo del Toro tribute, Dedalo – an Alien style SF, Yardbird was selected at Cannes and Blow Your Trumpets Gabriel – the first ever video (in this case, of the band Behemoth) selected for Shadows Shorts. The visual campaign of this section will be created, as always, by GAV.
The Shadows Shorts jury consists of Spanish writer/director Marc Carrete (Asmodexia), Gaz Bailey, the director of the Abertoir - Wales' International Horror Festival, and Costin Chioreanu, graphic artist, founder of the Twilight13Media studio, which made, among other things, the cover for the latest album of the metal band Arch Enemy.
