About the Festival
After a long 13-year pause, in April 2021 the 7th International Animated Film Festival and the 1st online festival took place. The festival has undergone significant changes in the name, concept and venue. The old name of the festival was BIMINI, in honour of the short-animated film of the same name “Bimini” by the master of Latvian animation Arnold Burov, festival showed films for both children and adult audiences and of any length, as well was held in Riga, Latvia. The new name of the festival is T-Short this is a kind of wordplay: T-Shirt is a well-known item of clothing and the word Short here means a short film. Similarly, a project logo emphasizes a wordplay in the title – a film shaped like T-Shirt. The festival platform was created in Germany and festival was organized in Germany too, however, the festival is held online only. The festival showcases only animated short films and is aimed at an adult audience.
We are very grateful to everyone who remembered the BIMINI festival, and who submitted their works to the first online T-Short festival. We could not imagine that after such a long break, we would receive almost 1500 applications for selection. We thank our wonderful Jury – Koji Yamamura (Japan), Roze Stiebra (Latvia), Juan Pablo Zaramella (Argentina) and Kwok Fung Lam (UK) – for their work and for their difficult choice of the festival winners. All members of the jury also took part, one way or another, at the BIMINI festival in Latvia and gladly agreed to be members of the jury at the renewed festival. Thanks again to everyone and see you soon!

Such a great experience! They are great and very fast in terms of communication and organization. The selected movies were awesome, very diverse, intriguing, and well displayed. Their website is also cool because it resembles a social media platform, so you can get to know better the other directors and participants. If you work with animation, I strongly recommend submitting or even just watching the festival!
