The EU has released five short films directed by aspiring young filmmakers.

Each filmmaker is a winner in the #EUandME Young Filmmakers Competition. It offered young European filmmakers the opportunity to direct a short film about the rights and benefits young people have in Europe thanks to the EU.

Their ideas were then brought to life with the help of professional filmmakers and a grant from the European Commission.
