Melle Meivogel

We Are Not A Single Story The 11th edition of Go Short consists of an abundance of characters, colours and surroundings. The 368 films show you places that feel like home, but also confront you with unknown desires and harsh realities. In contrast to much of the media that narrow their story due to popular vote, the directors presented in this year’s program take you on a courageous journey through the world. I am proud that Go Short is, after the Oscars® and Bafta, as of 2019 a recognised gateway to the European Film Awards. The programs show the sheer wealth of stories, feelings and experiments. They are full of talent and ambition, and allow a new generation of directors to present its ideas to a big audience. Go Short is, as it is inherent to short film programming, inclusive and divers. It doesn’t always resonate a single meaning, which can be discomforting for a moment. Allow yourself to dive in, focus, learn, enjoy and react. Central to the 11th edition is this year’s theme: Happiness. Our western society seems addicted to the pursuit of happiness. Either individual or collective wealth, achievements

or enlightenment. It occupies our heads and increasingly brings us to fall when reality hits us. The four film programs deal with different ways we try to find happiness or fail while doing so. Failing has become a central theme to some of the professional programs as well. Because it is when we fail we learn and when we are brave to share our fuck up stories, we grow. And yes, I fail on a daily basis. This text, set as an example since I failed not only on the first but also on the second deadline… Meet our directors in focus, Jacqueline Lentzou and Bálint Kenyeres. Jaqueline Lentzou is one of the most promising European rising stars. I am excited, not only to present her to the Dutch audience, but also to show her inspirational program. In this, gems that were made between 1966 and 1973 by the great Jonas Mekas, Chantal Akerman, Derek May, Krzysztof Kieślowski and Peter Greenaway will be shown. Our second guest Bálint Kenyeres represents our focus on Hungarian shorts like no other. Reinventing the Hungarian cinema to a refreshing new order. As of the beginning of Go Short we have been experimenting with new technologies in side programming.

Now, we have decided that it is time to present 360° VR films in competitive screenings. The same goes for the best out there in music videos. I am looking forward to experiencing these music videos coming to life on the big screen on Friday. Our education program underlines the value of moving images, creating historical and background context to the medium of film and raise awareness for complex topics. It is an honour to invite over 2,000 children to our cinema and see teenagers program, produce and host their own Go Short festival in their schools. By doing this we aim to stimulate critical thinking and creative storytelling. I would like to extend a special thank you to our funders, collaborators and sponsors that recognise the need for Go Short to be the Netherlands’ premier international short film festival and a unique event for the city of Nijmegen and the region. Your support is vital. Above all, I would like to thank the staff and our volunteers for their endless energy. We All Are Go Short. Kirsten Ruber, Director 5

Polina Medvedeva (RU)

Jasmijn Schrofer (NL)

Polina Medvedeva is a Russian-Dutch filmmaker and artist based in Amsterdam. Her work researches the notion of informality, focusing on informal economies and non-conformist communal structures, their principles influencing the aesthetics of her videos. Medvedeva’s works have been exhibited at Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Sonic Acts Festival, Amsterdam, WIELS Contemporary Art Centre in Brussels, Al-Ma’mal Foundation for Contemporary Art in Jerusalem, Inversia Festival in Murmansk, Rotterdam City Theatre, Art Brussels, Centre of Fine Arts Groningen, De Nieuwe Vide gallery, Haarlem and screened during IDFA Docs for Sale and on VPRO among others.

Jasmijn Schrofer graduated from the Nederlandse Film Academie in 2015 with the prize-winning film 'Tarikat'. If you want to describe the films of Jasmijn Schrofer, it is possible to do that with the words ‘'desire’' or ‘'visual poetry’'. Her short film ‘Tarikat' is the product of this coalition. Jasmijn is unafraid to take an intimate look at complex issues such as immigration (‘Homework’), self-euthanasia (‘Practical Matters’) and the ego (‘Tarikat’). Earlier at the film academy she directed and co-choreographed her first dance film (‘Unfold’). She is a graduate of The School for Young Talent in The Hague, a joint venture of the Dutch Royal Arts Academy and the Dutch Royal Conservatory. Currently, Jasmijn is writing her debut feature film about the disappearance of darkness.

Moviezone Eye Openers MovieZone Eye Openers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; powered by Eye Filmmuseum â&#x20AC;&#x201C; visits and evaluates six film festivals in the Netherlands. Every festival a nine-member team of young cultural omnivores from diverse backgrounds watches films, partakes in events and takes a sneak peek behind the scenes. On the last day of their stay, the team shares their findings on the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accessibility for youth and how it can improve in the future. For Go Short it is very important to invite the MovieZone Eye Openers to the festival. In addition to the educational school screenings for children and youngsters, Go Short always searches for new and better ways to educate and inspire young film lovers through film programs, masterclasses and workshops. The report of the MovieZone Eye Openers, with their findings about the festival and the specific programs and events they partake in are valuable for improving the program in making it better suitable for youngsters. MovieZone Eye Openers wordt ondersteund door Gemeente Nijmegen.

This festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning short films may qualify for consideration for the

GO SHORT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; International Short Film Festival Nijmegen 22

European Competition Like every year, we had an unbelievable amount of submissions; almost 2400 films from all over Europe were sent to our festival, all to be watched by our different selection committees. Most of these films have been taken care of by our six-headed committee for the European Competition. Obviously the variation was enormous. We’ve seen seen great cross-overs between fiction and documentary that got us confused, very particular comedies, trippy animations and experimental shorts that pushed the boundaries of film. But above all we’ve seen a great mix of cultures – reaching way further than our own continent - and stories that represent all layers of society. In our selection we tried to show a glimpse of that diverse universe, that always has more layers than first meets the eye. Films that seem to be about danger, vulnerability and poor living standards at first, end up telling

a beautiful love story. We also saw protagonists that lived in oppression, but actually showed great strength and empowered after a closer look. Or main characters with many friends, who are still lonely. We are not a single story. Since our competition exists of 13 programs, we have the opportunity to show already successful films of the past year as well as brand new discoveries and overlooked beauties. Our competition shows winners of big festivals like ‘Hector Malot: The Last Day Of The Year’ from our director in focus Jacqueline Lentzou that won at Semaine de la Critique, or the daring work of art ‘Heart Of Hunger’ that was successful in Locarno. There are also five films in competition that will have their world premiere at our festival, we’re very happy to be at the start of their hopefully successful festival career.

We’re also happy to announce that this is the first year we will choose a candidate for the European Film Awards. After being already qualifying for the Oscars® and BAFTA’s, this addition is an important acknowledgment for the quality of our festival. It also makes us the only festival in the Netherlands with the recognition of all three of the academies!

Director: Gustaf Lindstrom animation / United Kingdom / 2018 / 6’ / Dutch Premiere

Crocodile-men, a mystic river, some kids that like fishing and a war that ends share the same Colombian land; Bojaya. In this place, villagers have strange beliefs and celebrate the “Novenario” death ritual. This might be the beginning of a very long story, where spirits and humans meet each other to learn what is there to life after the end of war.

Josefa, Pepe, Carmen, Carmela, Manuel, Ángeles, Juan, Loli, Susana and Pepita. A collective portrait of an involuntary community, created because of business needs. A group of people who were joined by salt, forged by time and held by nostalgia.

In ‘Plankton’ we get a glimpse of the ideas and aspirations that float around at the bottom of the food chain. Through casual and improvisational dialogue, the show tackles themes like insecurities and self-doubt, life choices and social hierarchies.

Director: Jonas Baeckeland fiction, art film / Belgium / 2018 / 30’ / World Premiere

North-eastern Polish village, surrounded by forests and lakes; with only a few houses, several farm households, and a small baroque church. That’s where the main character – an 11 year old boy spends his last month of summer. He is fascinated by adventure books about the Wild West and craves adventures and experiences. He explores the surroundings, equipped with a cassette recorder and a bow.

Eric is no more. His friends meet at his house to spend a night together. They reflect on life, find support, exchange anecdotes and bring memories of Eric to life. An intimate film about mourning and friendship.

Interweaving three stages of their girlhood, ‘Nous Trois’ captures the childlike swiftness that maintained in Anna, Nele and Sarah’s intervening lives, from children to young independent women. The choreography and movements symbolically grasp their changing identity.

A desperate, violent and absurd search for meaning. A film director goes through an existential crisis after completing his debut feature film and is desperately trying to find meaning. He goes to Los Angeles where he meets Frank Yang - a Taiwanese bodybuilder with unique insights.

Inseparable best friends spend their last summer holiday of childhood amusing themselves around the house. As summer progresses their bodies start to morph and shift and an awkwardness descends on their friendship. Puberty seems determined to interrupt their bond.

The birthday celebration takes a surprising turn for Sonja’s closest friends when she reveals that she has canceled the party for everyone else, with the intention of telling them her darkest secret.

The Fall

Mitibna Lyubov

La Chute

Director: Svetlana Filippova animation / Russia / 2018 / 15’ / Dutch Premiere

Director: Boris Labbé animation / France / 2018 / 15’

Mitya’s Love, based on the short story by Boris Shergin, is about Shipmaster Mitya who went from Arkhangelsk to the theater in Solombala and fell in love with the nice woman Miss Kyarsten. Images by masters of Russian avant-garde and naïve art are used to tell this romance.

Birds of ill omen fly over the sky. Suddenly the natural order of the world is suspended and the kingdoms of hell and paradise emerge. Struck by muddy shadows, the landscape blends with the bodies of wild animals and humans, at the whim of the labyrinthine, complex, rorschachian and incessant metamorphoses.

A city tour through the architecture of an Online-Shooter. Operation Jane Walk is based on the dystopian multiplayer shooter of Tom Clancy’s The Division. Within the rules of the game’s software, the militaristic environment is being re-used for a pacifistic city tour.

By following a fictional group of refugees across Europe, the film questions the overproduction of images surrounding real-life tragedies and deaths. Where do all these images of refugees come from? How do they reshape the geography of Europe?

Director: Mathilde Lavenne documentray, art film / France / 2018 / 14’

A house, a garden, a stream. The beehive on the hillside, the shack, the wooden hut and the shed. In between we find memories, stories and observations. The past, the present and the future.

A park in the fog. Crows flap and caw in the sky. A homeless man sleeps between the trees. Now and then a crow is shot: as a deterrent. The crows rally after every shot. A woman disappears. The police gather evidence. Are reality and imagination slowly blurring?

Tropics draws an orbit around a Mexican farm. Scattered voices seem to revive and disturb the memory of the place. Crossing the matter, the film attempts to stop time and men, and reveals the ghost of a lost paradise.

Love 404

Je sors acheter des cigarettes Director: Michaela Taschek documentary / Austria, Germany / 2018 / 20’ / Dutch Premiere Erich Taschek, filmmaker Michaela Taschek´s father, used to be a fun-loving and sociable man.

Alice is together with Johannes but she doesn’t have enough space to be herself. On a night out with friends, she steals a strap-on and challenges her boyfriend’s thoughts about girls.

Evoking the Olympic marathon from Rome 1960, in which the Ethiopian Abebe Bikila conquered the African continent’s first gold medal, becoming a symbol of the Africa that was freeing itself of colonialism, Fischer & el Sani have recontextualised amidst Rome’s controversial rationalist architecture, a new race involving refugees and immigrants staking a claim to their “freedom of movement”.

Looking at an x-ray image a young handsome man is horrified to learn that the weird, tumor-like lump on his chest is the top of a tiny plump man`s head. Nested in his body, he is waiting to be born… ’Mr. Mare’ is a surreal animated chamber play, set in a ‘haunted’ claustrophobic space, in which we witness the dynamics of unrequited love as we follow the relationship of an oddly codependent pair.

While temporarily hosting her ailing father, Laura finds an injured seagull in the backyard. Their newfound goal to salvage the bird is the perfect excuse to avoid talking about the real issue, the imminence of death.

‘KIDS’ is an experimental project about the psychology of the group.

Director: Marja Helander fiction, art film / Finland / 2018 / 11’

Two brothers have opened a small business on land leased from the state. When the authorities ask for early termination of the contract, this sparks a conflict between the two, bringing to light truths they had never dared tell out loud.

A woman narrates the script of Gli Anni, a few pieces picked up on the shores of a timeless Sardinia. Neither the words nor the images claim to tell the whole of its story: the places of the past emerge as reverberations of a fragmentary and shifting memory, bathed in a new light.

‘Birds in the Earth’ is a short film based on dance. The main characters are two young Sámi ballet students; Birit and Katja Haarla. The movie tells a bit melancholic story through their dance performances. At the same time it examines the deeper questions of the ownership of Sámi land.

Director: Khaled Abdulwahed documentary, art film / Germany / 2018 / 26’

‘Blue’ is filmed during 12 nights in the heart of the Thai forest. A woman lies awake at night. Nearby, a set of theatre backdrops unspools itself, unveiling two alternate landscapes. Upon the woman’s blue sheet, a flicker of light reflects and illuminates her realm of insomnia.

A forest hermit tries to prepare for a flood, but he becomes distracted by his noisy neighbour - who happens to be the hermit’s left eye. ‘The Flood is Coming’ explores the growing anxiety about the state of nature, and our place in it.

The film deconstructs and reconstructs a photograph taken in 1998 of a Syrian cactus field, a plant known for its resilience. War and its havoc have been there. 20 years later there only remains this photograph projected on a wall in a flat in a Berlin backyard.

Director: Alexandre Steiger fiction / France / 2018 / 13’ / World Premiere

Director: Benjamin Crotty fiction / France / 2018 / 27’ / Dutch Premiere

Paul and Adèle, frustrated extras in the Tristan and Isolde Opera, take advantage of a break to set off in search of a subterranean lake beneath Palais Garnier. On the labyrinthine journey in the bowels of the opera house, they have a meandering discussion about love that will act on them as a magic potion, just like two Wagnerian heroes, as if it were impossible to escape from legends and myths.

During his acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award, Nicolas Chauvin – a farmer-soldier, a veteran of the Revolutionary Army and the Napoleonic Wars, and a father of chauvinism – embarks on a grand monologue, sending him back in time and space. Until, at a bend on a moonlit road, a spectral encounter changes the course of his non-existence.

Student Competition It’s always a great pleasure to receive so many films from film schools all over Europe. Not only because the overall quality is great, but the film schools are obviously the source of new voices within the film industry. Not every film might be perfect, but with our selection committee we look into the potential of filmmakers at the start of their career. In our selection we are searching for films that distinguish themselves in form or content and that manage to share their honest expression in moving images. There is nothing more exciting than watching films of a new generation of filmmakers and to see how they get their ideas to the screen.

We are also happy to host five international premieres and two world premieres in this competition! Congratulations to ‘The Hours Fall’, a film directed by Blanca Camell Galí, produced at Les Fresnoy. We loved the film for its strong roots in French classics, combined with modern elements and great use of music. The important social function of both music and cafés are a delight to watch in this digital area. We also congratulate Clément Fourment with his film ‘Heart Affair’, which he made at La Fémis. With director Fourment himself in the leading role, the film handles male body insecurity in a remarkable way – both funny and sincere.

A man goes in search of a catfish at dawn. Originally from the Danube, this giant fish provokes the same kind of mistrust as a foreigner suspected of disturbing the established order. Enigmatic phenomena block the fisherman’s way in a magical realist film about strangers and strangeness.

After a young woman is responsible for a hit and run, strange and spooky things starts to happen... A small thriller about people that are not always the best at making decisions.

A young woman wanders round the town, going from bar to bar, from waste grounds to other streets, never finding the one she loves.

Antonia is stuck in her everyday life. She oversleeps, procrastinates and searches the internet for a happy life. Spontaneously, she decides to give structure to her existence and asks her fling for a steady relationship.

When I see pictures of my mother when she was young, I see a woman who doesn’t need me. When I wasn’t born yet, her art was everything to her. I became important only later. I would have liked to meet her back then. Or would I? She seems so independent. Would she have liked me?

This short film deals with a difficult topic, life after the loss of a loved one, using techniques of both live-action and animations. We are looking into the thoughts of three young people untimely exposed to death. Real experiences of the narrators are combined with animated sequences reconstructing painful situations.

Dutch Competition Though we’ve distinguished certain types of short film as ‘typical Dutch’ over the years, our selection for this year is not typical at all. In four programs we selected an eclectic mix of films that gives a good overview of this year’s shorts from The Netherlands. The selection dives into more experimental films this year, especially in the documentary section with ‘Nehemías’, ‘The Sasha’ and the 30-minute tour-de-force ‘At Midnight Plays a Dance-Tune’. The latter being a graduation film from Roy Seerden at Netherlands Film Academy in which some bold choices are made in editing and screenplay. On the other end of the spectrum we found some interesting comedies that we added in this year’s selection; with ‘Wine Wenches’ and ‘Snor’, both programmed in ‘NL.2. In a Lonely Place’ there will be plenty to laugh.

Some of these have already had international success, like ‘Mind My Mind’ that premiered in Toronto, ‘Yulia & Juliet’ that got a spot in Berlinale’s ‘Generation’ and ‘The summer and all the rest’ that played at numerous festivals all over the world like at the prestigious film festival of Venice. ‘The Walking Fish’ and ‘Second Floor’ on the other hand, will have their world premiere at Go Short. Congratulations to both directors, Thessa Meijer and Dymphie Huijssen!

Three wine loving women go for a night out but because of their behavior the night gets out of hand in a most hilarious way.

In a Dutch neighbourhood overrun by gentrification and yuppies, the recently widowed Harry has a hard time adapting. Scrambling to protect his area from losing it’s way of life, Harry spearheads a protest committee. Armed with badges and posters he tries to end the modern advancement. When even his drinking pals cave in to a relocation bonus, they urge Harry to stop wasting life living in the past.

Christian, a young man from the city, is an outsider in his new home in Cocachimba, a poor village in the Peruvian jungle. Sitting on a rock, Christian is philosophizing his new situation. He remembers how he was visited in the middle of the night by a mythical ‘devil’. Fragments of colourful cubist paintings overlap shots of nature in a flowing movement.

On a hot summer’s day two adolescent girls are trapped on a balcony while a group of boys wait for them at the carnival. But as the messages from the boys get hotter and hotter, the balcony turns more and more into a safe haven.

After her mothers death, Carolien started wondering more and more about the concept of autonomy. Making choices seems like a matter of course, your own right to shape your life just the way you want it to be. But how valuable is life when you’re not able to make your own choices?

Screens occupy the majority of our daily lives, perhaps unconsciously. CGI (Computer Generated Imagery) is becoming more realistic and dominant every day. This increasingly blurs the boundary between reality and the alternative “reality” of the CGI world. This transition is inevitable. What does this development mean for humanity and its perception of reality?

A new phenomenon of authentic Chinese rap has taken the internet by storm. But behind the unprecedented gains in popularity, there is a struggle for freedom of speech. Rappers are trying to figure out what they still can and cannot do after new censorship is announced.

Everyone will die one day, but everyone feels different about it. ‘Second Floor’ is a non-narrative film about the diverse associations and thoughts people have about death. Inspired by poetry, songs and conversations, it tries to visualize indescribable feelings, start a conversation with the viewer and more importantly leave it open for interpretation.

Spinning drawings guide us along the flow of energy through our planet, and let us ponder our place in the natural cycle.

Joey (13) returns home to live with his mother, Daphne, after she has won a long legal battle to regain custody over him and his brother Ricardo (8). On the day of their reunion Daphne takes her sons to a bowling alley to celebrate, until their resolve to restore the balance of their relationship is tested by an unexpected crisis.

When the Dutch filmmaker Roy Seerden’s mother dies, there’s no holding him back. Sex, drugs, roaming through the night: his life transforms into a bundle of energy, grief and detachment. At the same time, he can’t help thinking of Antoine, the strange neighbor from his youth. Without putting it into words, Seerden draws an obvious parallel between Antoine and himself.

Expanded Cinema

Expanded Cinema This 11th edition of Go Short, we continue the program line Expanded Cinema that we started last year as a concept for the focus program on Virtual Reality. We are rooting this program line even further into the structure of the festival by setting up two brand-new competition programs that form its core: one for 360-VR films and one for music videos. Through these and other programs, Expanded Cinema explores the boundaries of short film within the context of the festival, to present and question exciting ways of experiencing film. Go Short feels the need and responsibility to stay on top of the emerging shapes and forms that short film can be. Driven by technological innovation and always changing spectator behaviour, the definition of film is being tested and remodelled continuously. We position Expanded Cinema within the core of the festival with the intention to keep it this way for years to come. We strongly believe in the power and potential of these new competition programs and want to contribute in further developing them in the future. Whatever direction they might take. 66

Music Video

Today, years after the demise of music television, music videos are thriving on the web. They manage to reach a massive audience but are at the same time sentenced to the small screens of smartphones and laptops. Quite a shame, especially for those cinematic gems that would prosper in the movie theatre on a big screen and with great sound. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we present a selection of the best music videos in a national and an international competition program at Go Short. We do this with a focus on the visual aspect and with respect to the filmmaker as the artistic drive behind the productions. Next to the program as a showcase, it also functions as a meeting place for this niche industry, which is unique in The Netherlands.

The 360-VR competition presents 12 VR-films of the past year. VR has had a stormy and promising rise, starting only a few years ago. Now the dust of the early days has settled, some shapes and structures are becoming clearer. The question arises if it was just a gimmick that will reach its expiration date soon, or that it is proving to be an artistic storytelling medium on the verge of becoming of age? Many aspects are at play to determine which is true. So far, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constant stream of well-crafted and inspiring 360-films within the realm of VR to choose from. This competition program shows a selection of the best cinematic works that manage to play with conventions and that prove to be worthy to be regarded as a distinctive form of short film on itself.

Your society has nowhere to go but up due to the rising water. But first, you must go on a dangerous deep sea exploration to recover what has long been lost in order to secure the survival of your community. Sometimes when everything is dark and painful, you’re heading in the right direction.

Through audio recordings and re-enactments, former white supremacist Angela King relives the memories of, and motivations behind, the eight years she spent inside the white power movement—and the path she took to get out. While the monsters of Angela’s past define the years she spent mired in hate, she finds redemption only after acknowledging the ultimate monster: herself.

Juana, an 18-year-old girl in a wheelchair, is anxious to explore her sexuality. She’s going on a blind date with guy she found on social media. She didn’t tell him about her disability. Overcoming fears and an inaccessible city, they meet. Together they discover what their bodies feel.

Ever since sedentism, mankind has been creating closed and strictly regulated rooms. They facilitate the satisfaction of human drives and therefore provide a basis for our culture.

‘Isle of the Dead’ is a timeless journey guided by Charon, ferryman of the Underworld, starting from an everyday apartment towards our final destination.

Modern society is obsessed with social media. Online platforms provide us with a constant unwanted stream of other people’s opinions. What happens when it all gets too much? Cabaret superstars Bourgeois & Maurice offer us a solution in this comedy VR music video.

In the Rivonia Trial of 1963 and 1964 in South Africa, 10 ANC anti-apartheid activists stood trial, among them Nelson Mandela. This trial triggered a process that would lead to the abolition of apartheid. Based on the archive of audio recordings of the trial, the filmmakers made ‘The State Against Mandela and the Others’ and this VR experience, which takes you into the courtroom to hear the testimony of ANC activist Walter Sisulu.

Half Life VR is a Virtual Reality short film capturing the immersive spirit of choreographer Sharon Eyal’s dance work Half Life performed by the Royal Swedish Ballet. It’s a legend. A sharp projection of language, movements and formulas of the soul. It’s a marble arrow being fired at a shivering audience from the end of a corridor. This creation is monotonous with an angle. “It can be good friends under your feet and bad people in your hands”.

A Bar At The Folies-Bergère VR is a four-act immersion into Manet’s famous painting. Alternately from the point of view of the painter, his model Suzon, the client observing her and a visitor at the Courtauld Gallery, where the masterwork is currently exposed. All these perspectives allowing a trip into the wildly-excited atmosphere of the Folies Bergère at the end of the 19th Century.

Off the Walls FRI MARCH 29 - 22.00

Deep End Film and Go Short once again join hands for an unusual screening. The walls of the city of Nijmegen will transform into mini cinema's for short films. Join this mysterious, dark and original walk through the city and let yourself be surprised by the unique experience. 74

Go Short x RUIS: Spewing Forth Sea Froth OPEN : THU-SUN FROM 12:00 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 17:00 | SAT 12.00 - 17.00 + 20.00 - 23.00 (ONLY DURING THE FESTIVAL)

It is 1915 when thirteen fishermen from the strictly reformed village of Katwijk leave for the sea for a long period. After a few weeks of shore, one of the crew members was overtaken by a religious vision: a message from God that guides him to happiness. The fisherman convinces the rest of the crew on the ship to change course and to sail to Jerusalem. Over time, conflicts between fishermen follow. For some of them, faith turns into madness, others become suspicious. The tensions on the ship are so high that three crew members are killed, the ship is later found rudderless at sea.

In RUIS, Heemskerk shows a video installation in which she investigates these questions in a playful way. RUIS is an artspace for experimental, contemporary art based at the Hertogstraat 119 in Nijmegen. The art of making art â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the artist and his or her artistic process are welcomed in RUIS. This translates into exhibitions and events in which contemporary tendencies are central and art & experiment meet.

Sandra Heemskerk (1989) was born in Katwijk. The above, true story gave rise to a series of works. In an associative way, Heemskerk makes drawings, wall paintings and video installations in which they bring together the themes of the fishermen's story as well as autobiographical aspects. The fishermen embody the desire for the ultimate, the truth, a deity and happiness. But during this search, insanity is inevitably lurking. With her installation, Heemskerk explores the boundary between religion and mania. How do we relate to reality? And when will it be shaken? 75

Focus Program JACQUELINE LENTZOU BÁLINT KENYERES HUNGARIAN SHORTS HAPPINESS

Focus on Jacqueline Lentzou Jacqueline Lentzou (Athens, 1989) is one of the two main guests at Go Short 2019. As a young filmmaker Jacqueline Lentzou has made quite a name for herself. Her graduation project ‘Thirteen Blue’ (2013) was selected to be on the short list of the Academy Awards. Her second film ‘Fox’ (2016) has won sixteen different awards and was selected to take part in Go Short’s European Competition in 2017. The same year her film ‘HIWA’ (2017) was selected to be in the European Competition as well. This year at Go Short she will give a masterclass to the Campus participants, answer questions during interviews and present her own work, among which her last short film ‘Hector Malot: The Last Day of the Year’(2018), that premiered in Cannes. Last October, we spoke to Jacqueline Lentzou about her fascinations, her future and Go Short.

Themes and fascinations Themes that keep coming back in the work of Lentzou are dreams, atypical family constructs and coming-of-age. As a person and as a filmmaker, Lentzou is fascinated by emotions and subtle movements. She constantly ‘studies behaviours’ of the people she sees and looks for the bipolarity in everything. ‘I try to portray this bipolarity in my film, for example the intimacy that can be in loneliness. Everything can change very, very fast, even in the duration of a day. It is really important to remember that nothing is stable and nothing stays the same.’

Busy future The young Greek filmmaker has done a lot since she graduated from the London Film School in 2013 with distinction. Apart from making several prize-winning films, she also took part in Sarajevo and Berlinale Talent-programs and was invited as Artist in Spotlight at Vienna Shorts. What are her dreams for the future?

“It is important for me to be constantly creating things.”

“I try to portray this bipolarity in my film, for example the intimacy that can be in loneliness.” ‘My future plans mainly involve new films and I really hope they get into real life. I finished my draft for my first feature film, I have my crew, my actors and I hope to get started soon. Next to that, I am in the process of writing the script for another feature. I am doing that very instinctively. It is important for me to be constantly creating things. Shorts, features, music video’s. My plan, generally is, to work non-stop. So that is what I am going to do.

The festival As mentioned before, Nijmegen is a familiar place for Jacqueline Lentzou. Her films have been selected several times for the European Competitions. What are her experiences with the festival? She smiles: ‘for me, Go Short has been a very interesting trip back in 2017 to this weird named city called Nijmegen, which I learned to pronounce only a few months ago.’

Luckily for us, Go Short has more to offer than a weirdly named city: ‘It is a very nice and cosy celebration of short film and a place where I catch up with people from other festivals I haven’t met for a very long time. I hope the 2019-edition will be even better.’ We too, Jacqueline!

‘Thirteen Blue’ is an impressionist character study of Ellie, a thirteen years old only-child, who spends time alone indulging into her first existential worries, during a Greek heat wave. In the meantime, her family friend is about to give birth in the water.

On a very hot day in Athens, Stephanos, the eldest brother, is working while his mother is planning a day out. After another intense argument, Stephanos is left alone to take care of his two younger siblings as well as Lucy, the family’s sick dog. The day is spent pleasantly between summery laziness, pizzas, teenage flirt and phone calls that remain unanswered.

In Jay’s dream, Athens’ sun is so weak, you can look straight at it, without getting blind.

Suburbs of Brussels: a young lady in her apartment’s kitchen mops the floors, polishes her shoes, dances, cooks, drinks wine, then she duct-tapes the door, opens the gas and blows everything up – humming all along.

This is a film about a young man, a girl and a dog, in which the visuals are overexposed or, more technically, given a high contrast. The girl tries to fly with wings more symbolic than practical; the young man and the dog make similar attempts. Music by poet Leonard Cohen, played by The Stormy Clovers.

Focus on Bálint Kenyeres We are very happy to welcome Bálint as one of our two main guests at Go Short 2019. Bálint Kenyeres (1976, Budapest) is a writer and director, who made several laurelled shorts and the well received feauture film called ‘Hier’.

Background, filmography and awards Kenyeres studied philosophy, film history and film theory. He eventually graduated in 2006 as a director at the Budapest Film and Theatre Academy. Before this graduation, Balint had already made a few shorts. The first one, 'Closing Time' (‘Zárás’, 1999) had it’s premiere at the competition of Venice Film Festival. His short film ‘Before Dawn’ from 2005 made it to the competition of Cannes. It also got awarded with the Best European Short Prix UIP during the European Film Awards of 2006 and won the Jury Prize at Sundance. A few years later, in 2009, Kenyeres made ‘The History of Aviation’ 84

which was shot on 35mm and takes the public to Normandy in 1905 to a picnic party of a middle class group. ‘The History of Aviation’ was shown in Directors’ Fortnight.

Feature film After making several succesful shorts, Bálint made his first feature film ‘Hier’ ('Tegnap'/'Yesterday'). ‘Hier’ was shot on 16mm film in a North African setting and it recreates the visual atmosphere of movies from the nineties. In ‘Hier’, we see the boss of a construction agency trying to solve problems with an expensive project, but he gets confronted with memories from his past.

Mysterious sphere Since Kenyeres started his filmmaking career with the green colored film 'Closing Time', which takes place in a pub late at night, there is a mysterious sphere and often a big suspence. As a viewer, you sense this clearly in the twelve minutes during film ’Before Dawn’.

This fiction film was filmed in one shot, without cuts. Special about this film, is the way you engage with the characters, without actually seeing or getting to know them from a close point of view.

from Tibor Hajas and ‘Homage to Old Ladies’ (Tisztelet az öregasszonyoknak) from Zoltán Huszárik

During Go Short 2019, Bálint Kenyeres will be interviewed after the screening of his retrospective and give a masterclass to this year's Campus participants. He also got a carte blanche to present films that inspire him in his work and life, among which are the films ‘Self Fashion Show’ (Öndivatbemutató) 85

A bar before closing time. A chess game after the determinative step.

At dawn, the refugees are barely discernable against the outline of the waving corn. The morning silence is broken by the sound of a clattering lorry. As the lorry comes to a halt, the abandoned fields turn out to be crawling with small silhouettes jumping into the lorry as a mass. Their dream seems within reach. The award-winning film ‘Before Dawn’ depicts the despair of the large number of refugees that still exist in a country like Hungary, despite its entry into the EU in 2004.

Normandy, 1905. The picnic is finished. A group of middle-class people in their Sunday best, get ready to go home. There is one last photo to be taken, but somebody is missing.

Focus on Hungarian Short Film After nothing short of a crisis in Hungarian cinema at the beginning of this decade, their national film industry is now flourishing more than ever. Hungarian films not only manage to lure large audience numbers into the seats of domestic cinemas, they also get international recognition on major festivals. Films like ‘Son of Saul’ and ‘On Body and Soul’ were very well received by critics worldwide. One of the biggest successes in short film was also established recently when the heart-warming children's drama ‘Sing’ won the Oscar in 2017. These success stories are inspiring a new generation of filmmakers in Hungary to rise. With this focus program we zoom in on these talents that will define the future of Hungarian cinema, but also look at Hungary’s rich cinema history.

Hungary in Recent Days Socio-political issues as the refugee crisis are affecting countries worldwide. Hungary too, has been confronted with refugees from 88

African and Middle-Eastern countries. At the same time, many Hungarian are emigrating to countries with better working conditions. Short films are known to be quick in reflecting on current affairs and multiple Hungarian shorts have been handling these topics in recent years. ‘Collapsed Lung’ by Ambrus Fatér is one of those films, about a middleaged doctor who is faced with a sick old refugee. It is shown in the Fresh Meat program, curated in collaboration with Friss Hús Budapest International Short Film Festival. Another film in this program is ‘Last Call’, the winner of Friss Hús 2018, by Hajni Kis. A film about an older woman preparing to move out of Hungary to live with her daughter abroad.

Bold and Brave Animations The short animation films of Réka Bucsi have been screened and awarded on festivals all over the world. Her work and success are indicative for the lively and exciting animation industry of Hungary. The program New Hungarian Animations is dedicated to the

distinctive works of young and talented animation filmmakers and is curated in partnership with Kecskemét Animation Film Festival. The six films in this program include Réka’s ‘Solar Walk’, which screened at Go Short last year and ‘The Noise of Licking’ by Nadja Andrasev, which was part of the Student Competition at Go Short 2017. We are glad to see that, including these two shorts, no less than seven of the ten films in these first two programs are made by female directors.

Past Generations To value Hungarian cinema, it is also important to look back at how past generations in different era’s used film to visualise their world. In collaboration with the Hungarian National Film Archive a program on avant-garde short film of the 70’s is being presented. This compilation of highly artistic works, produced by the Balázs Béla Stúdió’s, will be introduced by Pál Czirják of the Hungarian National Film Archive and the films are all screened on 35mm print. To see more Hungarian films, also check out the program on the special guest of Go Short 2019 Balint Kenyeres. He will present a selection of his own shorts and a few films that inspired his filmmaking career.

Director: Anna Rubi, Júlia Halász fiction / Hungary / 2017 / 13’

Director: Ambrus Fatér fiction / Hungary / 2017 / 27’

Anikó, 61, is about to leave Hungary to move in with her daughter’s family in the UK. This is her final day before departing from everything she used to have.

The empire collapses in a blink of an eye. The oppression disappears, together with the rules that were giving safety. Everything is unstable, but in turn also possible. The film condenses episodes of a fictitious regime change when, for an exceptional moment, the protagonist is not the history, but the ordinary people and their clumsy acts of self liberation.

András is a doctor in his late 50s. His detailed, lonely life has turned upside down with the arrival of an old Syrian refugee. Without understanding each other’s languages, an unlikely friendship starts.

A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. Also on earth there are places and situations with strange attraction. Some back off, some step closer to observation.

‘Solar Walk’ shows the journey of individuals and their creations through time and space. Any meaning of action is only existent from the perspective of the individual, but never mandatory when looking at it from the perspective of a solar system. It’s about the melancholy of accepting chaos as beautiful and cosmic. Passion for creation is projected through the unique and playful texture of the animation craft itself.

A woman living in complete solitude tries hard to find love by meeting a shadow creature that looks like a cat. Meanwhile new bonds evolve as she gives birth to three kittens. Suddenly the creature disappears and she stays between the happiness of motherhood and suspense of her lover.

Archive Works of Béla Balázs Studio THU 4 - 21.30 - LUX 2

The Béla Balázs Studio was founded in 1959 as a grassroot initiative of young filmmakers engaged in the renewal of Hungarian cinematorgraphy, and became institutionalized in 1961 due to the support from the cultural policy-makers of post-56 consolidation. In the 70s, the BBS, besides young filmmakers graduated from the Hungarian Film Academy, also started to admit “outsiders” in its ranks. Throughout the decade, the Studio was a site of passionate debates animating a progressive workshop atmosphere where experimental, conceptual tendencies competed with documentarist approaches engaged in a social transformation. Breaking with the avantguardist attitude, the BBS in the 80s became a free space of “institutional dissidence” characteristic of the time, and a major workshop of Hungarian video-art that by documenting the process of democratization contributed substantially to the deconstruction of state-socialism in Hungary.

Happiness: A Hopeful Journey to a Euphoric Disaster Happiness is hot. Everybody wants to be happy and as long as you’re happy, everything is okay. Right? The focus on happiness is big these days and sometimes seems to be obsessive. Everything is supposed to be fun, we should be the best version of ourselves and there is little space for failure. For the theme programme Happiness we dive into different questions: does the digital hunt for love create happiness? How do you handle failure? And what are the alternative ways towards happiness? We curated three programmes full of funny, moving and striking films to find an answer to these booming questions.

Love in Times of Tinder The secret to happiness is love. And finding love is easy nowadays, we don’t even have to go outside to meet someone! Though physical distances can easily be bridged with modern dating apps, the emotional distance seems to have gotten bigger. But it’s a lonely feeling when you get the text ‘I enjoyed tonight, let’s 94

stay in touch’, while you know the other is already swiping for the next shot of temporary love. Do we even dare to connect in times of tinder?

People who Fail The secret to happiness is failure. Failure is obviously an important part of learning and reaching whatever goal you figured out for yourself in life. But failure is also inevitable in about everything we do, so we better accept it if we want to be happy. Yeah, if we could only accept it… If we could only accept an embarrassing fall on a crowded street. If we could only accept that we suck at love, freak out sometimes, and will never ever be successful. Someday we’ll laugh about our misery together.

Spiritual Happinez The secret to happiness is written down in those magazines like Happinez and Flow right? All you need to do is yoga, create balance in life, meditate, find some spiritual

enlightenment and become a happy super being. Just be happy, it’s easy. If you have any questions left, contact your local Guru.

If the Kids are Alright The secret to happiness is family. And although being a parent (most of the time) comes with unconditional love, getting trough the day can be a monstrous obstacle run. But at the end of the day, if the kids are alright you are alright. So relax and sit back, and if you are a parent take off that superhero suit, and order a big glass of wine. See how other parents deal with it or gloriously fail trying! Can't find a babysitter? This program is also scheduled on Thursday morning as a baby-friendly screening.

A River Through the Mountains

The Men Behind the Wall

Director: José Magrot drama / Portugal / 2018 / 10’ / International Premiere

Director: Ines Moldavsky documentary / Israel / 2018 / 28’ / Dutch Premiere

Commenting, tagging and posting, it does not happen just like that. There are unwritten rules for that. Mea Dols de Jong looks for the true meaning of likes and comments. A world where a tag can destroy a friendship and where the right emoji can let love blossom.

Just like a young man starting to love, a river has to find its way through the mountains.

‘The Men Behind the Wall’ offers a unique look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the swipes of a dating app Tinder, as an Israeli woman is being suggested meetings with (Palestinian) men who live on the other side of the barrier. Where do boundaries begin and where do they end? Ines Moldavsky personally sets out to discover the answer to the question, and then to overstep these limits. An experimental approach to both current social issues and intimate human interactions, the film emphasises the absurdity of power and segregation, and, further, that of stereotypes and gender roles in the digital age.

Tomas is a little bit too old to still be living with his parents, but his dream of becoming a magician leaves him with no other option. Bengt, his father, just wants him to grow up and get a proper job. At dad’s birthday party Tomas gives his parents, the birthday guests and first and foremost the beautiful new neighbour Monica a bizarre magic show.

Ing-Marie and Carl are very busy. It is summer, the sun is shining, the machines are running while she works out and he mows the lawn. They surround themselves with gadgets designed to make their lives simpler, but all they really do is cause more problems. It is a humorous reflection on a hot late summer’s day.

A workout on the sundeck, a conga line in the dining room, or a photo shoot with the captain: cruises guarantee around-the-clock fun. The exotic locations and the luxury of a floating hotel used to be the main attractions, but now there’s no need to ever leave these gigantic ships for your entertainment. Cruises have become available to the masses, and the seas are teeming with seafaring holiday fortresses vying for customers with luxury interior design and non-stop entertainment.

‘Tarikat’ is a visual poem of a journey towards enlightenment. Called by a mystic dream, Derya finds herself among souls steeped in the Islamic Sufi tradition. They join in hypnotic movements and stirring rhythms, dissolving into an ocean of silence.

‘Mr Madila or the Colour of Nothing’ documents a series of conversations between the filmmaker and a gifted spiritual healer, exploring the inner mind, the fabric of the universe, and the nature of reality itself, through the sacred art of animation.

“We Utopians are happy / This will last forever” Loosely framed by Plato’s invocation of the lost continent of Atlantis in 360 BC and its re-re-resurrection via a 1970s science fiction pulp novel, ‘Atlantis’ is a documentary portrait of Utopia - an island that has never / forever existed beneath our too-mortal feet. Herein is folk song and pagan rite, religious march and reflected temple, the sea that surrounds us all. Even as we are slowly sinking, we are happy and content.

Radboud Reflects: Liefde in tijden van Tinder SAT 6 - 15.00 - LUX 3 - DUTCH SPOKEN

We all desire love and intimacy, but how do we find that in the Tinder era? According to theologian Liesbeth Jansen dating apps complicate love: there’s enough fish in the sea, so no restrain to swipe onto the next candidate if the previous one didn’t match your expectations. But how do we know what we are looking for in love? Our desires often look contradictory: we want a buddy for life, but also devotion, wonder, ecstasy and enchantment. Last mentioned are things we previously associated with the act of believing, but that nowadays are projected onto love. Liesbeth Jansen pleads that conflicting desires can exist next to each other. Moreover, they can create more profundity in our relations. In the short films 'Lovebox' and 'A River Through the Mountains' you follow two people who cannot connect to person they are meeting.

Lovebox Director: Ivan Turkovic Krnjak fiction / Croatia / 2018 / 15' Summer day in Zagreb. It's boring and hot. Miro is lonely. Andrea needs love. The two of them don't know each other, but they're using the same dating app. Could this be their lucky day? Lovebox

The Dedicated Thousand SUN 7 - 12.00 - LUX CAFÉ

Creator and director Jelle van Dun from ‘Animate the World’ is working on a new project: ‘The Dedicated Thousand’. This is going to be an animated stop-motion film consisting out of a thousand tattoos. For the script of this film, Van Dun was inspired by the goodbye-speech of the first Dutch astronaut Wubbo Ockels, who knows the earth from space and wrote a piece about our unique earth which limitated resources are being fully used. With ‘The Dedicated Thousand’, Van Dun wants to inspire people to create a more sustainable lifestyle, in order to maintain our beautiful earth. A thousand people will carry this message on their bodies for the rest of their lives and take small, realistic steps towards a more sustainable way of life. The project is made in collaboration with the top notch tattoo studio Bunker Tattoo. At the 7th of April from 12.00 to 20.00, Van Dun and Bunker Tattoo are present in LUX Café to make up to forty tattoos. You are invited to give a voluntary donation for the tattoo artist when you get tattooed. If you want to be sure of a tattoo, you can get in line at LUX Café at 12.00 o’clock.

The climaxes are countless, intense, and tender. And they taste so good. Erotic fantasies and vibrating beats make PopPorn the night of lusty encounters. Erection and explosion in the cinema - a cinematic sexperience. Curated by Julia Fabrick and Alexandra Valent of VIS Vienna Shorts

In 2019 the Netherlands celebrates 75 years of being freed from war. It meant the restoration of a free and open democratic constitutional state in which one should be able to live freely and safely. However, the latter isn’t something we should take for granted. Even in present time many people live in distressing situations. Journalists in different parts of the world need to fear censure and lots of civilians still have to live under the reign of a dictator. And by the way: what does ‘safety’ means anyhow? Is it the presence of the military on the streets? Should you better stay home? This program, curated in cooperation with Movies that Matter, zooms in on these urgent topics.

We love keeping it short. Not only in films, but also in stories. But what happens when you combine short films and short stories? For the second time we will find out! We picked three short films and resumed the films in one sentence. We gave this logline to three students Creative Writing at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem. These emerging writers wrote a short story based on this logline (without seeing the film). During Great Short Stories, both the stories and the films will be presented. Shorts on their best!

On Topic: Not So Short Although we focus on short films, we would love to make space for two feature films made by Dutch film makers who have a special connection with Go Short. Viktor van der Valk directed a few short films and his film ‘Onno the Oblivious’ was selected for the Student Competition in 2015. Now he has made his first feature film ‘Nocturne’, which premiered at IFFR 2019 and is partly recorded in Nijmegen. Ena Sendijarević is the director of the shorts ‘Travellers into the Night’, ‘Fernweh’ and ‘Import’. All of her films were screened in the Go Short Competitions. In 2014 she won the Best Dutch Short Award with ‘Travellers into the Night’ and in 2017 ‘Import’ received the Award for best Fiction film in the European Competition. This year she managed it again: her first feature ‘Take Me Somewhere Nice’ premiered at IFFR and won the special jury award. Both Viktor and Ena are a real inspiration for new talent!

Go Shorty & Education SCHOOL PROGRAMS FAMILY SHORTS EXTRA

123

Go Shorty! & Education Go Short loves engaging youngsters and helps them discover the beauty of short film with different educational activities. These activities can be visited with the family or with school classes. Fitted to the needs of the different age categories, the film programs offer an insight into various world views. There is a film maker present at every screening, to introduce the kids to film professionals and their line of work. Also, by stimulating conversations with the kids in the screening room they get to express their opinion of the films and reflect on what they have seen. During hands-on workshops and with the aid of teaching materials offered to school they can experience film making for themselves. Because of these hands-on workshops and thanks to the introduction to different kind of films and their makers Go Short helps kids to discover their taste and talent for filmmaking. Go Short creates exciting, fun, thoughtful and challenging programs for families with kids ages 4 and up. These programs are re124

cognizable by the label Go Shorty! and include film screenings but also hands-on activities. In collaboration with the local libraries Go Short will tour in March with an interactive workshop. During the festival there will be a workshop in the library near LUX. On Sunday, Go Short will screen two Family Shorts programs. One with animation films for kids ages 4 and up. Be amazed, touched and laugh at the adventures of all the different main characters. They all cross fictional or real lines in their adventures. The Family Shorts program for ages 10 and up includes some moving fiction films and thrilling animations for the older kids. The main characters in these films seek, intentionally or not, thrills in their life. During the weekdays of the festival Go Short offers special school screenings. The best shorts for kids are selected and shown in divers programs for ages 6 to 9, ages 10 to 12 and ages 13 and up. At every screening, a filmmaker will give some context about the

film and the production process and answer all the questions of the kids. The audience will get to vote with help of a sound meter for their favorite film. The best rated films in the different programs will be announced on the Go Short website. To prepare the pupils for the screening and to help teachers discuss the films and their theme, Go Short will provide teaching materials with discussion questions and assignments to do in class.

School program 6-9: Happiness For the youngest group, kids ages 6 to 9, Go Short has selected 6 films, one fiction, one documentary and four animations. Though they are divers in form and subject matter, they all discuss the theme of happiness. What makes a person happy? And what can you change in your life to become happier? Is it better to change things or to accept the reality? Should you accept what you can’t change like the main character in 'Thibault', should you embrace that you’re different like the main subject in 'Kuap', change your surroundings like 'Wanda' does, ask the people around you for answers like the boy in 'The Sun is a PHAT God', search for new meaning like the main character in 'No Gravity' or make people around you happy like 'Emily' does? The films provide different perspectives and stimulate kids to make up their mind on their own.

For kids ages 10 to 12, the school program includes 7 films, all related to sports. Whether it’s people playing sports, the different cultural annotations surrounding sports or sport as a release for the daily frustrations in life. The films stimulate a discussion with the students about sports, the social structures surrounding it and the importance for health and happiness. This program features 2 fiction films, a documentary, 3 animations and a music video. This year Go Short started a competition in music videos, therefor one of these submissions is also selected for this program. In the music video 'Birthplace' a free diver is shown in his natural habitat. Skip is worried dancing is only for girls in 'Skip and the Rhythm Rangers', 'One of the boys' questions whether you should hold on to your own values or be cool to fit in, 'Shadow boxer' shows a girl expressing her frustrations through sports, 'Cycle' shows a little cycling adventure, 'the hunt' displays the crazy sport of hunting and in 'Rules of play' we get introduced in a creative way to sport rules.

School Program 14+: Diversity and Group Dynamics For students in the age 14 and up, Go Short made a program on group dynamics. It reflects upon the role of an individual and its relation to the group. Who decides which direction to go, when is it a good thing to follow â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe for the sake of conserving the peace? And when should you trust your guts to go against the stream, despite the potential consequences?

Gelders DOEK is thĂŠ place for local cinema. This initiative is carried out by the filmmakers themselves, mainly aiming to open peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes to their direct environment. Each month they show their work in the cinema in Arnhem and Nijmegen and love to get the audience involved into making new productions. This leads to new collaborations and can contribute to connecting people from different backgrounds. At Go Short the works of regional film talents will be shown in a special program and all the filmmakers will be present to answer questions.

New Arrivals: Go Short Campus Since the very first edition of the festival, the Go Short Campus has been a meeting point for filmmakers who are about to make the leap from the academy to the professional world. The New Arrivals – Go Short Campus brings emerging filmmakers and seasoned film professionals together. It offers an unique and intensive program to twenty young film professionals from all over Europe and the Middle East. The campus focuses on giving hands-on knowledge about everything that becomes urgent as soon as students leave the academy. How do I pitch my (short) film? Where can I find an audience? How can I distribute my film? Questions that are hardly dealt with at the academy will now be foremost. We offer masterclasses, lectures, workshops and panel discussions by the industry’s top experts. For this year we will offer masterclasses by our special guests Jacqueline Lentzou (Greece) and Bálint Kenyeres (Hungary).

Besides these masterclasses we offer workshops on different subjects, such as: festival strategy and distribution, international co-producing and pitching a film plan to an audience of programmers, producers and buyers. Furthermore, the participants are asked to prepare and bring a film plan to work on during the campus. Peer-to-peer and professional feedback will act as stepping stones towards their next short film. When these campus students leave Nijmegen their portfolios will be filled with business plans, their address books with new contacts and their suitcases with the tools of the trade.

The Festival Circuit 11.00-12.00 - LUX 7

Film festivals play an important role in the life of a short film. But what can you, as a filmmaker, do to get screened at the right festivals? What happens after you submit your film?

These are questions that will be answered by this panel of programmers and festival directors. Panel members: i.a. Charlotte Corchete (Locarno Festival), Philip Ilson (London Short Film Festival) 138

Filmmaking Fuck-Ups 12.00-12.30 - LUX 7

From little mistakes to major catastrophies. Everybody fucks up from time to time. But the most valuable lessons often come from the biggest fails. In the context of this year's focus on Happiness, Go Short celebrates failure. We asked filmmakers to share the stories of their most painful mistakes and what they've learned from them. In this short interview session we dig deeper in these stories by talking to the ones who had to face them and ask how it helped them to gain new insights and useful knowledge about the art of making films.

Professional Speeddates 12.45-13.45 - BIBLIOTHEEK (PUBLIC LIBRARY)

First Impressions: Feedback Panel 15.15-17.00 - LUX 5

Well begun is half done. That applies to practically everything, but certainly also to short film.

We challenge filmmakers to test their opening scene at Go Short in front of a panel of experts. They will deliver direct live and uncensored feedback to every film opening that is shown to them. Bring your film on a USB-stick and take the stage, if you dare! Panel members: i.a. Christoffer Olofsson (Uppsala Short Film Festival), Emilia Mazik (Short Waves Festival), Ruby Deelen (VPRO Dorst). Moderated by: Jing Haase

Script Coaching Sessions – in partnership with LIRA For the second year in a row we are setting up a series of activities for script writers to boost their writing skills and to further develop scripts they’re currently working on. A masterclass and one-on-one meetings between script writers and producers are part of the Go Short Industry Day program. Apart from this we also offer young script writers the possibility to get individual feedback on their most recent work by four professional script coaches: Shariff Nasr, Moniek Kramer, Sytske Kok, and Chris Westendorp. Script writers can apply for feedback in advance, after which they will be connected with one of the script coaches. In a session of 45 minutes they will receive in-depth feedback and some tips and tricks to work with. LIRA IS A Dutch collective management organization (CMO) for (screen)writers, translators and freelance journalists. Lira represents about 12,000 affiliated Dutch writers. Lira collects and distributes remunerations for the exploitation and (re)use of literary and audiovisual works of writers, among other things for public lending rights, private copying, the distribution of audio-visual works on television and radio and reprographic rights.

Farewell Brunch

Go Short is extremely proud of the many Dutch Directors whose talents are being showcased in our competition. We are all about propelling them – and their short films – into the world. At the lunch we place our talents across from key figures of the international short film. Attendees get to know one another, talk about their recent productions and exciting upcoming projects while the international industry gets a taste of our Go Short’s finest.

When the festival comes to its end it is time to say goodbye to your new found or longtime shorties. Come join us for the Farewell Brunch at the pavilion to reminisce about the amazing time we’ve had at Go Short before we all go back home after the Audience Awards.

Dutch Short Film Preview SAT 6 - 11.00 - LUX 2

Go Short is the go-to platform for young and promising Dutch filmmakers. We show the best films from the past year in our competitions, collaborate with several Dutch film schools, and screen films of local talents. But we want to do more. That's why, during Go Short, we host the Dutch Short Film Preview. During this program, a selection of both upcoming and celebrated Dutch filmmakers will give a preview of their most recent short film - before these films have their official international premiere. Festival programmers, distributors and buyers will receive an exclusive invite to attend this preview and get a unique opportunity to be among the very first to see these films and chat with the filmmakers afterwards, during a special lunch. With this preview program we aim to strengthen the position of Dutch short films and enhance the chances of these particular projects to get selected on international film festivals.

Dutch Platform Another way in which we promote Dutch short filmmaking is through the Dutch Platform. This has become a regular feature in our video library over the past few years. Here you can see all the Dutch film submissions that Go Short received for the current edition. For a better overview we divided these films in different categories, so you can easily find what you are looking for. This way Go Short functions as a gateway to all recent Dutch shorts for our visiting film professionals.
