What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's strict under-35 eligibility cap for all competing directors is unusual among European short film festivals, most of which are open to filmmakers of any age, giving Tabor New Frame a specific identity as a launchpad festival

02

The mystery stays covered

Free camping beside a medieval castle, paired with free bus transport from the capital, further sets it apart from festivals requiring paid accommodation or travel

03

The city starts moving
