HCMC – Future Shorts Event in August

Since November 2011, festival screenings have taken place in over 144 cities and 55 countries with an audience of more than 25,000 people experiencing a showcase of the best short films, often alongside live music, DJs and art.  From London to Tokyo, Cairo to Kabul, screenings have taken place across a massive network of music halls, cinemas, theatres, galleries, clubs, bars and warehouses.

Highlights include: Grant Orchard’s BAFTA and Sundance Jury Award-winning short “the Morning Stroll”,  the experimental documentary “We’ll Become Oil” about the Gulf of Mexico, and the stop-motion animated “Notes on Biology”, the winner of Best Short at SXSW. In “Street Vendor Cinema” from Brazil, a filmmaker and his team set up a stall that makes and sells short films on demand, where wild fantasies come to life in the middle of a bustling marketplace.
