Indigo blue, is for the first edition of the Drim Short Film Festival 2017. Because of the modest way we were created, the simplicity we took as our cloak, and yet we began to exist, to be present and to make the short films new culture landmark of Struga, where reality began to follow the good film stories.

Orange is for the second edition, DSFF 2018, when we decided with the help of the universal language, to weave a million stories in one knot. A year of a more impressive, more playful and more filmic festival edition, a year when we started our nomadic tradition through the cultural spaces in the city, a year of new love, with a big screen and an international offer.

Green is the color for the third edition of the DSSF 2019 festival, the polar, New Year's edition, when we realized that the continuity of the cultural offer is what opens the portal to the depth of our souls. Through that portal, we enabled the audience to look beneath the surface and discover the new worlds that the films offer.

Magenta is for the first online edition of DSSF 2020, created and made possible at the peak of the pandemic, eager to keep up the tradition and keep up with the new short films. Pressed by the crisis of the present, we have faced the end of the past so that we can look to the future.

And the future arrived earlier than expected. We have reached a small but significant jubilee, achieved above all with love and dedication, Struga to have a film festival, which will become another beautiful and recognizable landmark of the city. The film has never been as close to Struga as it is today and our intention is to make it a tradition as long as the poetic one. And no tradition today would matter if someone, once was not brave enough to take the first step. And we have reached the jubilee, fifth step, important, big and colored in the vividness of the wavelength of the spectrum between blue and green. Cyan, which resonates with the Struga landscape, lake, river, trees, sky and unrest.

This year too, our intention is to be present, needed, noble and modest. But not with the movie offer. Again, fifty short films by filmmakers around the world, divided into several categories will be shown to the Struga audience. We believe that the hottest edition of DSFF, which will take place from July 29th to August 1st, will be the most fruitful. Summer edition, for dreamers, for many colors, for a variety of warm emotions gathered on the big screen of the summer stage in the “House of Poetry”. And summer as we know, it comes slowly, it passes quickly, that's why "Dream short" is the motto of the fifth edition of the Drim Short Film Festival. "Dream short" on Drim Short. A play on words, where the dream, our festival and the River Drim become one. Dream short, but strong and clear as a short film, in which all the wisdom of the world is packaged in a form that can be drunk in one breath. Dream short on Drim Short, in the world of dreams, in the magic of the unconscious and the spiritual, where you can drink the whole endless river that inspires us with life. Dream short, live forever.
