We are pleased to announce the new media works and student films in competition at ttff/21. Films in juried competitions are rigorously discussed and dissected before being selected by the programming team, and must be unanimously agreed by the five programmers. In the case of the new media works, the programme curator shortlists the pieces in competition.
