To kick off the festival, the team at exground filmfest presents their favourite short films: ten productions from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Finland, France, Great Britain, the

Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. Their unifying theme is the violation of boundaries: geographical and political, but also personal limits begging to be overcome.
