SHORTMETRAJE presents short films in
LONDON and WASHINGTON DC this week!!! For the first time ever in London and Washington DC, we are delighted
to present a fine selection of the most ambitious and unpredictable
short films made in Spain last year. A unique opportunity to meet
the new generation of Spanish film directors.
ShortMetraje is the only initiative to highlight the incredible growth
of the short film industry outside Spanish borders, an industry that
produces 400 shorts a year and features more than 100 short
film festivals. The selection offers a variety of genres, styles
and themes that demonstrate the diversity of vision and tantalizing
creativity of this new generation. Films not to be missed. |
