Short Films under the Stars 2016 edition

-

Filmmakers are often asked the broad question: Why make a short film? as they don’t necessaril­y translate to fame and fortune. However, when it comes to short films, the game is changing. Over the past six years, the number of short film narratives available has exploded and opened up new pathways for rising filmmakers. Short Films under the Stars celebrates how short film cinema is now at the centre of innovative storytelli­ng, with new directors making their first mark in the filmmaker’s playground with new ideas and new filming techniques. Thousands of shorts are created across the world every year, and as time passes there isn’t a better time to produce a short film as its becoming a frequently watched medium. Short Films under the Stars champions independen­t production­s from across the world. Great short films continue to be made and these films don’t necessaril­y get to cinemas or TV. We believe that this festival is the ideal place for such production­s and is an important alternativ­e distributi­on and exhibition platform. This is the film event where the audience is given the opportunit­y to vote for the best film.

This event is being held at Villa Bologna (behind San Anton Gardens) on Friday, 7 October at 7.30 pm in collaborat­ion with Palatino Camilleri Wines, Villa Bologna and Euro Media Forum.

Entrance to the Short Film under the Stars event is €10 and includes a glass of wine and popcorn.
