The Golden Deltas

Since 2024, The Golden Deltas have been the leading 1-minute short film competition of Brussels.

In this exhilarating, totally original film competition, any student living or studying in Brussels can submit a short film. The only constraint is that submissions may be no longer than 1 minute. Otherwise, the sky is the limit! Documentary, animation, experimental, classic fiction, found footage, it’s all permitted and permissible!

Everyone who submits a film receives a FREE Delta IPA beer!
This film festival is organized in collaboration with the Brussels Beer Project.
There are eleven prizes each year, but only the winner of Best Film receives the ultimate honor: their film will be shown ahead of every screening in Cinema RITCS for a month!
