You can watch the short film for free on the festival website, but this site is really annoying, uses DRM protection and has nearly 5 minutes of non-skippable ads.

The video itself may have to wait for ghost to crack, and DRM is troublesome stuff.

The short film has English burned subtitles, but also CC in WebVTT:

5 minutes of ads for a 15 minute film: 1/3 of the film runtime. Yup, that is like the cinemas now! :wink:

Yeah, it’s disappointing to see how many film festivals have become increasingly greedy and difficult to respect. They’re trying to cash in from all sides—demanding excessive control and restrictions from filmmakers while offering a poorer experience to audiences. The quality of service keeps dropping, with intrusive ads and forced promotions ruining the enjoyment. Festivals should be about celebrating creativity and viewers, but instead, they’re turning into commercial messes that alienate both creators and fans alike. It’s time for them to rethink their priorities.
