Now here’s an irresistible treat for all lovers of the short film format! Night Visions is proud to present a selection of the absolute freshest Finnish short films relating one way or another to some essential building blocks and genres of Night Visions mentality.

All shorts presented in the festival’s Cult of Euphoria 2024 short film block were completed over the course of approximately three days during a workshop in Helsinki from October 25 to October 27, 2024. The workshop was arranged by a non-profit Euphoria Borealis ry.
