Red Deer Route is an art festival organized independently by students from the Bear Fine Arts program at ArtEZ. The route will give students the opportunity to make a deeper connection with the city and highlight places where we all come together. In this edition, Focus will host a festival of short films created by students from various departments.

The films will be shown in two seperate blocks. During the afternoon screenings, there are short introductions by one of the students. Part of the evening screenings is a conversation between students and the audience.

We aim to showcase a diverse range of short films that focus on complex emotions such as grief, examine the spaces where art exists in the Netherlands, and explore various international political realities, as well as new filmmaking formats and styles. Animations, poetry, photography, and short stories showcase the diverse interests of these emerging talents.
