"With a record number of submissions, the festival keeps growing and we now have a total of 250 quality short films that play at a jukebox near you. This past year we were able to upgrade the box technology and will thus expand the jukebox network, making short films available to an even wider audience," said film festival director and producer Giacun Caduff. Together with programmer Marc Hermann and the festival team, they will present their latest movie jukebox at the awards night.
