SHORTS Film Fest

20/03/2017

We launched SHORTS at GDFS 16 in collaboration with Pretend Lovers to provide a platform to showcase design-related short films within a wider programme of shorts by artists, designers and film makers from around the world.

The films shown were a curated selection of open-call submissions, received between 16.06.16 and 10.09.16. We placed no restrictions around theme or subject and all films under 16 minutes were considered.

After receiving 2300+ entries, we had an impressive choice from 96 countries to work with. We managed to refine a final list of 16 films totalling just over 79 minutes; an eclectic mix of narrative, animation and documentary.

We hope to see you at SHORTS 2017!
