CELEBRATE NUANCE! This ninth edition all that glitters really does seem to be gold, as we celebrate the news that we’ve become the first Dutch film festival that is Oscar Qualifying! This means that our live-action and animation winners in both the European and the Dutch competitions get a shortcut to competing at the Oscars. On top of that the Dutch Film Fund has awarded us a four year grant, which really strengthens our position in the international festival circuit. Sounds like we’re really gearing up for a brilliant tenth anniversary, right? But let us focus on the now, because first we have an exhilarating ninth edition for you to enjoy! Fake news and constructed reality are no longer the exclusive domain of the art world. In a post-Brexit-Trump world the question of truth is everywhere. The numerous ways in which media emerge in our lives challenges us every day. To us at Go Short, the absolute truth has never been that important. For the ninth year we do what we do best: we present an abundance of stories and styles, a mind-blowing variety of colors, thoughts, opinions, handwritings, influences, hopes

and dreams. In short film lines can be blurry. We present fictions that feel real and documentaries that are constructed. Through elaborate programming, you can create an interaction between seemingly unrelated shorts. These have the power to generate an open discussion, open up perception and create a new reality. We encourage our audiences to see nuances, peel off layers, find their own reality and reflect on their own positions. A new generation is emerging with shorts as their playground. Filmmakers are more than just artists nowadays: they are influencers, critics, researchers and brave storytellers. Go Short is proud to present talents like Jonas Odell, Ali Asgari and Farnoosh Samadi. We are also reconnecting with Dutch talents like Douwe Dijkstra for our festival trailer, and Guido Hendrikx for co-producing the supporting film A Story About My Eyes, which is premiering in Dutch cinemas on April 1 and will hit the festival scene soon after.

storytelling. Providing a platform for short pioneers, we’ve curated POP-UP EXPO: HIDDEN PLACES. This is an exciting exhibition full of excellent mixed-media projects in which we encourage our audience to venture deep into little known territories. We’re not even limiting ourselves to the moving image, as we’ve taken up the challenge to focus on a medium that is restricted to sound only: the rapidly expanding world of Podcasts. These on-demand audio stories can be listened to anywhere you go. In PODCAST STUDIO: ALL EARS, we’ve put together an exhibition filled with some of our personal, up-to-date favorites that will hopefully create an experience that triggers one’s imagination. We thank all financers, partners, suppliers, staff & volunteers that made this edition possible. So go on, dive in and don’t blink! Bart Jansen - Festival Coordinator & Kirsten Ruber – Director

In our opinion the short format knows no boundaries. At Go Short we’re always on the lookout for fresh ways of short 5

Born in France, 1986, Khadija first went to the school of art of Geneva (EEA), before she got her degree with honors in cinema in the school of Art and Design of Geneva (HEAD). The short film she made during her study, Courber L'échine, was a success for the last 2 years. The short was selected by many festivals (Clermont, Asiana film festival), and won the Encouragement Award for the Best Student Film at Go Short in 2016, and was even bought by national French Television Company Arte.

YOUTH COMPETITION: MOVIEZONE JURY

MERLIJN WILLEMSEN BAS VAN ZANTEN (17 YEARS) (19 YEARS)

DESI VAN HORNEE (18 YEARS)

KIKA SCHIPPER (16 YEARS)

ANNE SHOEMAKER (17 YEARS)

“Ever since I was 11 years old my biggest dream has been to become a director. I was already making short films with friends back then and I really loved it! Recently, cinematography has been starting to appeal to me. I expect to see a lot of talent at Go Short. Hopefully I get to meet a lot of passionate and motivated people!”

“As a member of the jury I think I will focus on acting and the strength of the narrative. I will also pay attention to any experimental film techniques used by the filmmaker, as that’s something that really fascinates me. I’d love to become a film director myself in the future, but the world of television also appeals to me. Hopefully I will get some inspiration for the future during the film festival!”

In the future I would love to do something with film, preferably go to Film Academy and then move into directing. But I think commercials and advertising are awesome too, and documentaries as well! As a judge, I think I will focus on camera work, light, color and how shots are set up. Also at acting, I think. The kind of mood a filmmaker is trying to convey is also important.

“I’ve never been to a film festival before, but I am really looking forward to it! I expect to meet interesting people and gain new experiences. As a jury member, I will probably pay special attention to originality and the storyline.”

“I watch a lot of feature films and short films, an average of 1 to 2 per day. So I’m really looking forward to the Go Short International Short Film Festival! As a member of the jury, I will pay special attention to how the message is conveyed to the viewer, as well as to cinematography and structure.”

THE AWARDS Go Short hands out no less than eight awards. Seven of these are chosen by our three juries and one by our audience. The audience vote is just as important, since all shorts in competition are eligible for the audience award.

NTR GO SHORT AWARDS Go Short and Dutch public broadcaster NTR proudly present the NTR Go Short Awards for Best European Short Film in four categories: Fiction, Documentary, Animation and Art Film. All films in the European competition are eligible to receive an NTR Go Short Award. It’s the ninth time NTR joins us for the award ceremony, as they have been our partner from the very first edition. The winners of each category receive a € 1.250 prize. The award winners for Best Animation and Best Fiction film will become eligible for the Academy Awards.

VEVAM GO SHORT AWARD All films in the Dutch competition are eligible to receive the VEVAM Go Short Award for Best Dutch Short Film. It’s the fifth year VEVAM, the Dutch copyright society for film and television directors,

partners with us for this award. A segment of the income of VEVAM is transferred into Stichting VEVAM Fonds (VEVAM Fund for social and cultural purposes). The VEVAM Go Short Award, consisting of € 2.500, is intended to stimulate Dutch directors to experiment and expand the genre of short film. The award winners for Best Animation and Best Fiction film will become eligible for the Academy Awards.

GO SHORT ENCOURAGEMENT AWARD Go Short hands out an Encouragement Award for the Best Student Film in the Student Competition. This award, amounting to € 5.000, serves as an encouragement to a young artist at the start of a promising career in filmmaking.

GO SHORT 9TH INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL NIJMEGEN

THIS FESTIVALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S WINNING SHORT FILMS IN THE CATEGORIES ANIMATION AND FICTION MAY QUALIFY FOR THE

ACADEMY AWARDS 22

EUROPEAN COMPETITION Every year we wish to present a showcase of what the previous year had to offer in short films. In order to do just that, our selection committee has had the daunting task of selecting only 60 titles from all submissions. Once again the result is something of which we are extremely proud. We are happy to present these gems to you. It became quite clear that many directors are romantics at heart, as love, sexuality and relationships were among the most common themes this year. Our programs LONGING FOR LOVE and AT FIRST SIGHT fit some of these films together, showing how we sometimes look for love in all the wrong places or find it when we least expect it. Stories about youth, childhood, adolescence, and the classic short film theme, comingof-age, were also well represented. Some of these are set in a post-apocalyptic or fantasy setting, like Sparta or Dawn of the Deaf.

Others are strongly rooted in reality like Import or Fox, showing us how versatile people can be. Of course a large number of the selected films comment on the current state of Europe. These deal with the migration crisis: either in a direct and personal way or in a more distanced and stylized fashion, but always with a palpable urgency and with enough to reflect on when leaving the screening. Our European Competition clearly shows how short film can highlight the critical issues in our society.

Go Short is also proud to announce that, for the very first time, the award winners for Best Animation and Best Fiction film will become eligible for the Academy Awards. We would like to thank our selection committee for all their help.

We are happy to welcome back Ena Sendijarevic, JosĂŠ Miguel Ribeiro, PaweĹ&#x201A; Ziemilski, Jonas Odell, Antti Heikki Pesonen, Johan Rijpma, Jonathan Vinel, Konstantina Kotzamani and Andreas J. Riiser. We are also looking forward to meeting all the directors that are part of Go Short for the first time. 23

Director: Jasna Krajinovic documentary / Belgium, France / 2016 / 14’

Director: Julia Staniszewska documentary / Poland / 2016 / 25’ / Dutch premiere

Based on the ancient legend in which souls of drowned people turn into sea animals, the film follows the steps of a hunter who steals the skin of a girl/seal preventing her from turning back into an animal. She becomes his wife, but keeps longing for the sea...

Nora, Samira’s daughter, left for Syria in May 2013. Since then, her mother leaves no stone unturned in her attempt to bring her home. My Daughter Nora is a letter that Samira wrote to Nora. It follows Samira in her fight to prevent other youths from leaving, her trip to the Syrian border and her painful, everyday life torn between hope and the fear of losing her daughter in the war in Syria.

A series of conversations between a mother and a daughter. The mother (66) is a doctor and a devout, practicing Catholic. The daughter (35) is an atheist and a mother to two children conceived through IVF. Although the grandmother loves her grandchildren, she does not accept this form of assisted reproductive technology.

Director: Toma Waszarow fiction / Bulgaria, Croatia / 2016 / 21’ / Dutch premiere

Director: Arthur Summereder art film / Austria / 2016 / 6’ / international premiere

Like the gypsies, the frogs, made of china, don’t go unnoticed to a careful observer. Batrachian’s Ballad comes about in a context of ambiguity. A film that immerses itself in the reality of Portuguese everyday life, as a form of fabling about a xenophobic behaviour.

A story about the funny side of apathy, selfishness, and loneliness in a world where following the rules is a kind of misunderstanding.

How do you represent a ritual, a culture, a community that firstly does not want to be shown, and secondly, is not your own - a world briefly encountered that remains foreign.

For someone who plays a better game than his dog. The gardner is looking for a mysterious vandal who has lost a yellow boot. But perhaps they are both looking for the same thing?

A supercharged history of sculptor Constantin Brancusi’s infamous ‘Princess X’, a futuristic bronze phallus that is actually a bust portrait of Napoleon’s equally infamous great grand niece, Marie Bonaparte.

At the end of Gdynia there is a small fishing settlement. A young angler is dreaming about working as his father and grandfather did. A few seasons of fishing with his father made him realise that this dream may never come true.

A rashly accepted job at a construction site in a coastal resort becomes a pain in the neck of a backhoe loader operator from the hinterland who, in order to retain paternal authority and get the legal, but dirty demolition work done, needs to remove an unwanted witness.

A dried out lake. Not much is happening. As a car enters the frame of the image it starts moving in spiral circles. Dust is swirled up. As the car leaves again something has changed. The circular motion has strangely inscribed into nature – and our perception.

Director: Julie Gourdain fiction / France / 2016 / 29’ / Dutch premiere

Director: Eliane Esther Bots art film / The Netherlands / 2016 / 15’

Based on interviews with former prisoners, this animated documentary provides a glimpse into the most notorious women's prison in East Germany. A film about political imprisonment, forced labour, and enormous profits on both sides of the Iron Curtain.

It is 1968 and Marianne is 19. She is placed in a home far from her family and friends where she meets other young girls whose common secret has shaken the foundations of their social standing.

Two friends, Sapa and Hija, re-enact and re-tell short anecdotes of their lives. Coming from another country to The Netherlands, there is a quest for belonging and the (im)possibility to completely feel at home and relate to the world outside the apartment. The starting point of this film was an encounter with Sapa, who chose his friend Hija as his interlocutor.

Imagine you wake up one day, all your friends have disappeared. The friends that should be there are gone. So you look. You look everywhere. Every hiding place, each inch of the city, all the marshes, all the rivers. You look, but cannot find them.

Can a horse save a life? In Clondalkin (Dublin) that’s exactly the case. In a district where there is a lot of problems and not a lot of prospects, young people face drugs, prison and the path of crime. But some of them manage to escape into an unusual hobby. They tame wild horses and become...urban cowboys.

A group of men are waiting at the fringes of a coastal woodland for the journey to Europe, in limbo between time and place. A film is shot there with the men playing themselves. Fiction and documentary constantly intertwine. Myths from the colonial past collide with dreams of the future.

The story of Tipuana, a five-year-old girl who experiences “the limbo” when she tries to pass to ‘the other side’ in her desperate urge to mourn the recent death of her beloved father. It is a short story that happens in an undefined place in an also undefined near future.

The leopard shall lie down with the goat. The wolves shall live with the lambs. And the young boy will lead them. 12+1 kids and the carcass of a whale washed ashore...

To keep a promise she made to her dying mother, a young woman goes off in search of her father, a womanizer she has never met. Along the way, she soon learns that he is dead. But that doesn't change her plans, she still intends to find him. Carried by the spell-binding rhythm of the maloya, a ritual chant from Reunion Island, CILAOS explores the deep, murky ties that bind the dead and the living.

The work is compound by a short film, electronic music and a contemporary music piece played by an orchestra. In the scene, two loudspeakers, as gamers, are playing a pingpong match with words and sounds while the orchestra tries to prevent this dynamic. At the same time, the synchronized video transcends this references, going from video game and abstract animations, to cinema history.

Adrien comes from “elsewhere”. He’s a prince with delicate moves who discovers the Theatre National de Chaillot with eternally amazed eyes.

An observational exploration of routine, monotony, attention and distraction. Will we continue to let events pass us by uncontested, or will we decide to break the cycle?

Human shortcomings tie the dramatic knot of this story. Everything happening to the characters is not yet true love. Everybody finds their own way to be unhappy. Everybody is looking for love.

In a small Portuguese village, a tragedy occurred. An old lady is found dead in her garden, surrounded by snakes, while her 40 year-old daughter, Lurdes, fled without telling anyone. The gossips in town about the mysterious destiny of this house are spreading fast...

VENTILATOR is set in two locations in Scotland; a derelict ventilation system on a rooftop in the city of Glasgow and a beach on the Ayrshire coast. This short experimental video comprises of a mixture of animation and filmed work, with the two protagonists- a woman and a masked, distorted man.

When Europe turns to chaos, Emily must hold out in her apartment in hope of reuniting with her loved one. The promise to wait becomes increasingly difficult to keep, as desperation grows and hope dwindles.

The Dockworker’s Dream

Director: Helen Anna Flanagan art film / United Kingdom / 2016 / 17’ / Dutch premiere

Director: Bill Morrison art film / Portugal, United States / 2016 / 18’ / Dutch premiere

Friday considers the limitations of language to share lived experiences with others. To communicate and connect with one another, beyond language, we use alternative systems: one of these is the construction of shared experiences through games. The setting of a nightclub provides the stage for two actresses to merge speech and other vocalizations with gestures and moves connected to play.

A journey downriver, into ports, towns, and families, and out into the great unknown. Different ports of call are framed by the solitary sojourn of a dockworker, perhaps remembering his own past, or dreaming of another’s. Like the hunters in his dream, the film seeks to recover ancient and seldom viewed images from the recesses of our collective memory.

On a sunny Mediterranean beach, time seems to be frozen. An utterly exhausted black man crawls painfully off the sand while around him the holiday-makers seem not to notice him. Freely inspired by a photo taken by Juan Medina on the Spanish beach of Gran Tarajal in 2006.

That’s why we are happy to announce the 19 strong films that make up the Dutch Competition.

We couldn’t miss out on the newest titles by Douwe Dijkstra (Green Screen Gringo) and Reber Dosky (Meryem), both of whom are now taking part in competition for the third time and aren’t strangers to the international circuit. Christian van Duuren (Gamechanger), Wiep Teeuwisse (As Long As It Takes) and Marlies van der Wel (Sabaku) are back as well with films that show the consistency in their work.

This year it became clear that more and more directors are really trying to master the short format. The international trend of films becoming longer and longer isn’t reflected in this year’s national crop. In a number of narrative titles in particular we see directors aiming to tell a story in a short time span, and not without success. Great examples of this include the unique, mysterious world that’s created in Copyrette, the fast paced The Big Picture and the hilarious For Free.

These 19 titles will be competing for the VEVAM Go Short Award for Best Dutch Film that, for the very first time, is also a qualifier for an Academy Award.

YOUTH COMPETITION We’re very proud to host the youth competition for the sixth consecutive year. In the youth competition the jury, consisting of teens aged 15 to 19, gets to see 29 daring new films and pick their favorite. The jury is hand-picked and guided by MovieZone, the youth platform of EYE, the Dutch Film museum in Amsterdam. The jury will hand out both a MovieZone Award and a € 750,- prize, made available by Gemeente Nijmegen. The combination of short films and young viewers is an obvious one. Short films are daring, experimental, fast and often made by young, starting filmmakers. The link between the jury members and the filmmakers has an inspiring effect and we often hear filmmakers say the Youth Award is one of the best to win. The films that have been picked for the Youth Competition show the wide range 56

of the competition, which has the judges compare more accessible narratives to very formalistic animated documentaries. But if there is something that we have learned over the years then it is to never underestimate this jury. Their picks always surprise us and demonstrate that they really have a critical view on the programmed films. For Go Short it’s a great way to get more insight into the next generation’s views on the competition films; for that reason we encourage them to express their opinions. We always love to hear the viewpoints of young, fresh viewers and the judges always find the experience unforgettable, informative and a lot of fun. We’re happy to give the next generation a voice through the Youth Competition.

STUDENT COMPETITION The most interesting student films of the past year in five programs: that’s what our Student Competition offers. These talented directors provide us a bright look into the future of filmmaking. Three of them have been part of the competition before and with their latest production they prove that they still are on top of their game. In NASTY WOMEN five shorts tell the story of strong female protagonists: women who are discovering ways to please themselves, finding their place in a relationship, going to extremes to battle loneliness or having to come to terms with their “own” body. The places we pass through on a daily basis influence who we are. In all films in YOU ARE HERE the environment plays an important part. The viewer is taken on a journey from an almost abandoned 58

zoo to a dangerous mine, moving from a bittersweet love story in Buenos Aires to finally end up in the cold of Antarctica. In LIFE LONGINGS the viewer gets an intimate look behind closed doors, taking a peek into the private lives of others. OUT OF THE WOODS offers us a chance to finally escape the city again, showing us how we are drawn back to our natural surroundings. Film is not only a way for the viewer to escape, but sometimes the protagonists also need to escape their surroundings. This escape can just be a brief moment like in Stage Left, or a state of mind to wallow in for a while like in Verochka. All five films in DAYDREAMING show us a momentary escape, but we always have to return to the real world in the end. The same holds for our audience who eventually has to leave the cinema again, yet never without new experiences.

Inmates take on the roles of different characters. The improvised scenes are based on their own experiences. Iron Alibi is an attempt to understand the feelings of prisoners and show their predicament without sensationalising prison but with a sense of humour.

One evening, the theater school presents solo performances by its graduates. Lola accompanies a friend rather unwillingly. But her friend does not turn up, and Lola waits, alone, on the tiered seating, when the lights in the hall go down.

In the northern most point of Europe, for two months a year the sun does not rise above the horizon. Without Sun is about this darkness and gives an impression of the inhabitants who wait, who have to cope with the darkness and yearn for light.

JONAS ODELL / MADE IN SPAIN / TRAVELING

FOCUS ON JONAS ODELL Jonas Odell is a multi-award winning Swedish director who has been on the Go Short wishlist for many years. This year we are very happy to welcome him as our filmmaker in Focus. Odell is a co-founder of animation studio FilmTecknarna, which produced the mesmerizing and kind of unsettling Revolver (1994) in stark black and white imagery. He co-directed the film with Marti Ekstrand and co-founders of FilmTecknarna, Stig Bergqvist and Lars Ohlson. Odell is most well-known for the music videos he has directed for big names such as: The Rolling Stones, U2, and Franz Ferdinand; as well as his animated documentaries which tell personal stories. He specializes in a cutting edge mix of media techniques; combining 2D and 3D animation with live action, which creates a signature aesthetic recognizable in his author works as well as commissioned music videos and commercials. 70

With his films Odell definitively gives animated documentary a new impulse and sheds light on topics like sexual deflowering, the lies we live and tell, and game addiction. In a world full of stories he always chooses his topics out of curiosity. “It is about curiosity, and really it is about knowing that whatever topic you choose, there are millions of stories out there. All I do is package them so that they can reach the audience that they deserve.” The personal candid outpourings are shown by his protagonists in the secure environment of the animation. These outpourings hit the full range of emotions; from recognizable to shocking, sometimes disconcerting but always touching. In each of his documentary films, Odell re-creates the personal stories of several people who are undergoing the same event or experiences. These sometimes very different perspectives when brought together form an episodic film

in which the same topic or event can be experienced from various viewpoints. “I made a short film Family & Friends (2002) that comprised of five vaguely autobiographical stories based on childhood memories and I found that the stories put together became something more than just the sum of the parts. Ever since I’ve found it interesting to work with stories that interact with each other in some way within the same film.” Odell considers the editing of the interviews as the first and an important creative process in building a narrative and to being true to the protagonists. He considers dealing with people’s personal stories to be a big responsibility. In the rough interview material Odell uncovers a multitude of stories and works his way carefully through it during the edit. He edits while the interviews are

“I find it interesting to work with stories that interact with each other in some way within the same film”

“All docs – and in fact all pieces of art – should question its own relation to the world and that questioning is built into the very nature of the animated doc.”

still in progress and during the process the interviewee, who he collaborates closely with, is asked new additional questions. This helps him in telling the story efficiently and creating a narrative arc. And, he is very aware that he is dealing with people’s personal lives: “It is a delicate balance to make sure that we do justice to their stories, but also the most interesting challenge when working in this format.”

For Odell, animation and documentary don’t form a strange marriage: “There are a couple of things that I think make the somewhat paradoxical genre ‘animated documentary’ appealing. I find that presenting stories in animated form can make it more “generic” in a disarming way - rather than looking at a specific person telling a story, you leave room for the audience’s imagination and make it easier to identify yourself or put yourself in the place of the person telling the story. The other interesting thing has more to do with nature of documentary filmmaking - it is easy to assume as an audience that you are looking through a window into ‘reality’ but a documentary is always filtered through an artistic temperament. In the animated documentary you are aware that you are not watching ‘reality’, so in a way it is a more honest form of documentary. All docs - and in fact all pieces of art - should question its own relation to the world and that questioning is built into the very nature

of the animated doc.” The richness of the storylines are reflected in Odell’s use of a rich palette of mixed-media techniques that fit the story, time and character thus adding an extra layer to the film. Odell won several awards, Never Like the First Time! (2006), in which he uses interview material for the first time was awarded the Golden Bear for best short film in the Berlin International Film Festival 2006. He has won two Swedish Guldbagge Awards for Best Short Film, for Never Like the First Time! (2006) and Lies (2008). Lies also received the Jury Prize for International Short Filmmaking at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. Other awards include a Grammy nomination and win at the MTV Music Awards for the music video Take Me Out (2004) for Franz Ferdinand. He was voted as one of the top 100 animators of all time in a survey of world animators organized by Channel Four.

Three perfectly true stories about lying. In three episodes based on documentary interviews we meet the burglar who, when found out, claims to be a moonlighting accountant, the boy who finds himself lying and confessing to a crime he didn't commit and the woman whose whole life has been a chain of lies.

A music video for the song Right Action by Franz Ferdinand.

A short film where four people each get to tell the story of their first time, an animated film based on documentary interviews. As we hear the people tell their stories in their own words, these are visualized in a range of different animation styles. These are stories that range from comedy to tragedy, stories from last year or from the 1920’s, stories that are remembered with nostalgia, embarrassment or even horror. All these stories have one thing in common: it is never like the first time!

MADE IN SPAIN From the early beginnings of film, Spain has played an important role in the output and development of cinema. Segundo de Chomón was influential in the technical development of the art and cinematic vocabulary. Film masters like Luis Buñuel and Pedro Almodóvar, who took their first steps in the short film, gained international recognition. And still, short film is an important part of Spanish cinema. Therefore we decided to focus on the new generations and contemporary film, as the output of the industry and independents is vast and intriguing. For decades, Spain has had a constant output of high production value short films but also of films reflecting the state of society. The financial crisis affected Spain strongly and became topic of many short films. Spain, being so diverse in culture and vast in landscape offers an even greater medley of topics and approaches. Spanish award winners at Go Short are not an exception: Ámár (2010) by Isabel Herguera won Best Animation in 2011. Ebb & Flow (2012) by Gabriel Mascaro won 80

Best Documentary in 2013. The Runaway (2011) by Victor Carrey won Best Fiction in 2012 and Are You Leaving? (2010) by Cristina Molino won the Online Award in 2011. The program highlights how Spain takes the lead with classical drama, a high production value output, in exploring new technologies and its possibilities for new narratives and production strategies in the near future.

MODERN FAMILY Family life is important in Spanish society and proved a to be recurrent topic in film. Traditional family life, but also family in modern times. Stories ranged from the vulnerable old woman who is still the center of care to a coming of age short where family is composed of chosen peers. From the happy couple to parents with disturbing confessions, which shed new light on the happy family they always seemed to be. A shift towards different cohabitation is clearly visible, warm, with love and sometimes vicious.

NEW VIEWS The Spanish film industry has a progressive innovative branch that constantly reinvents itself to find new ways of (re)telling stories. This results in a mind-blowing journey through confusing stories. The dreamlike and poetic approach in Winter Love (2015), humorous use of the documentary genre in A Story For the Modlins (2012) and playful use of found footage material in Duck Crossing (2009) will leave no one indifferent.

EXCELENTE Get a taste of award winning films. This is a mix of efficacious classical drama and high production audience pleasers. Including the Palme d’Or winner Timecode (2016) which gently intertwines choreography in its narrative, and the humorous, though grim use of animation, Unanimated (2011). Minimal and maximal mysteries from everyday life are revealed in a philosophical matter, serious but with lighthearted visions.

TRAVELING No one stays in one place anymore. Since the earliest days and also in biblical history, mankind has traveled great distances. We travel for food, for religious purposes, for trade and more and more (how cynical) for recreation (to gain freedom) and survival. May holiday trips seem the most popular activity for many of us today, for many others on this globe fleeing is a matter of life and death. Film doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need bicycles, hiking gear, motorbikes, cars, trains or planes to bring us to undiscovered corners of the world. It only needs a projector and a screen, big or small, to bring us beyond Hollywood. Cardboard sets are replaced by cgi and sfx and make geographical and time travel possible. Traveling to and beyond the galaxy and into Middle Earth have become even more realistic and credible. Documentaries investigate places, (historical) events and eras; and fiction depicts them so realistically you can almost touch it. 88

We become Gulliver for a time slot and investigate real and fictitious places, travel in liberty and travel as survival. A new vocabulary has developed in this generation, such as: city breaks, winter vacation and Gap-Year; in which youngsters discover the world before starting serious studies, and where the ageing population among us has the leisure time and lust to roam the world in an often more modest way. In this program we take a look at all possible ways of travel without the intention of being complete. We become Gulliver for a time slot and investigate real and fictitious places, travel in liberty and travel as survival. Short film is the ultimate medium to travel and capture

the world, skies and the oceans, cities and deserts. Sixteen shorts seduce us into imaginary and sometimes better worlds. Some show intentionally bad trips which fortunately for us always end. From the relative safety of our comfortable chair in the dark cinema we open the proverbial window on the world and shift gear. Are you ready to take off?

LET'S GO We count down the days to the moment we can leave our offices and homes to set out on holiday, a time to rest, enjoy, relax and discover during our leisure time.

A cycle holiday is the perfect setting for the weal and woe in a relationship of a retired couple with mismatching expectations. For many of us a second home or a caravan on the coast or countryside is a heavenly Valhalla, for others it is sheer horror. The documentary The Community (2012) portrays the oldest camping park and its residents in Portugal. Here, we encounter a newlywed couple on their honeymoon to the offbeat destination Subotika - Land of Wonders (2015) which, however amazing, is surprisingly not a cozy spot at all.

OFF ROAD From here, to there, and beyond; vehicles help us to travel romantically in space and sometimes even in time. Road movies form a genre in and of itself. People of all ages are on the move for various reasons, big or small. In Autumn (2014) a young boy just drifts off for his first significant journey whereas in Mont Blanc (2012) father and son have a different motivation and G-AAAH (2016) presents a very special vehicle in a way only animation can bring us into paper skies. In Trespass (2012) the director travels the world in single frames and therefore manages to take us all over the globe in little more than ten minutes. It’s about the journey, not the destination.

It’s being on the move that really matters and not reaching the goals or spot. Bon voyage!

TRAVEL WITH A CAUSE There are many reasons to roam the world apart from leisure. Sometimes it is a surprising daily routine. You might be fleeing from a natural disaster or a showman who travels the country with your circus. Whether legally or illegally crossing borders, searching for safety or better living standards, you surrender to often grim, unpredictable and sad situations. Much like a woman in Taxi Wala (2007) who is on her way to a nonexisting address she has written on a small piece of paper while she and the driver do not speak each other’s language. The problem Ester has in Checkpoint (2014) is completely different and absurd. Her vacuum cleaner blows air out instead of sucking it in and she takes it on a journey across Slovakia to confront the company representatives with this.

A middle-aged lady on a holiday in the sun tries to make new friends and have a good time. The role is played by a one year old girl, the rest of the cast are marionette puppets.

"I don't think a showman ever really retires…until he's passed away," says Victor Reeves, himself the eternal showman, without bitterness. This short film is an impressionistic portrait of his Scottish showpeople family. They talk of their various reasons for wanting to continue working in the circus world. As the film's title suggests, its visual rhythm adjusts to the tempo of the lives of the Reeves family.

A Ukrainian father, Danilo, and his two sons, Olek and Andriy, travel from Kiev to Brussels in the hope to find better life conditions. They become victims of exploitation and humiliation.

A taxi driver starts his working day. He is driving a woman in her forties to a specific address. When they arrive the driver recalls that the place no longer exists. Little by little he realizes that the woman is completely lost. She is unable to find her way home, she only knows that through the window of her apartment she can see trains going by.

The ancient site of Poggioreale, in the middle of Sicily, was destroyed by a terrible earthquake in January 1969. Unbelievable view on a ghost town, still full of traces and memories.

Young girl Ester has a problem: her vacuum cleaner Taifun 1400W blows air out instead of sucking it in. On a journey to return vacuum cleaner across Slovakia, Ester get stuck at a remote bus station, obviously being alien to the place.

ALI ASGARI & FARNOOSH SAMADI the first film made outside of Iran. The short tours successfully in the festival circuit and has already won many major awards. Asgari and Samadi are currently working on their first feature project together.

Ali Asgari and Farnoosh Samadi, both of Iranian descent, met while studying in Italy and discovered that they shared common ideas about cinema during long discussions. Their first collaboration resulted in More Than Two Hours (2013) which was entered into the Festival de Cannes in 2013. Since then Ali and Farnoosh have collaborated closely as director and scriptwriter. Their most recent film The Silence (2016) is their first collaboration as co-directors and 98

Their cultural background and immigration are influential in their work as they consider it easier to tell stories from their homeland and their experiences as immigrants. From the Middle East to the West they introduce themes, characters and stories they identify with and always reflect social relevance on everyday life. For Farnoosh Samadi the difficulties of learning a new language and a comparable situation was a direct source for The Silence. As a filmmaker Asgari is convinced that the best way of telling a story is by depicting as many aspects as possible, such as: culture, language and environment. This is why he chooses to use sources he is most familiar with. These elements combined add up to a strong visualization of the content, this

attention to background and detail create the film’s documentary style. Currently they are collaborating on their first feature film project, Disappearance, but they still think short film is an important expressive medium, not only a form to practice and develop skills: “No matter how long a film is, what matters is that directors manage to say what they need to say. Sometimes, it takes two hours and sometimes just fifteen minutes. What’s much more important is the effect on the audience.” Asgari said in an interview with Crossing the Screen in Cannes. So shorts will still be planned in the future. We are happy the makers found the time in their busy schedule to come to Nijmegen to present their films, and be part of the New Arrivals - Go Short Campus and share their knowledge and experience with audience and young talents.

Although some people tend to look down on comedies, we notice each year how difficult it actually is to make a good comedy. Being surprising, humorous, relatable or to the point isn't something that a lot of films are. That's why each year we dedicate a program especially to these titles that knew how to entertain us. It can be a one-minute punchline film like You Are Not the Strongest or a film like No Drowning that shapes it's own universe and takes us along in it. An aquarium opening with fishy people, staying true to your own language, or having to cope with your bodily aches, these films won't leave you untouched.

Horror and action films are the most scary when the topics are close to our daily life and routines.

THE SUM OF ALL FEARS SAT 8 – 21:45 – LUX 4

A common conception about a good short film is that it has boiled down its story to its essence. In the case of these nine minute condensed versions of classic horror feature films it certainly holds true.

shared sensibilities with the surrealists. The abridgement invents a new pre-credit sequence and takes interesting liberties with the material, all the while keeping the plot on track and somewhat intelligible.

These films are so called abridgements of Universal horror classics. Through the wider availability of television, classic Hollywood movies came back into fashion in the early 1960s and the struggling distribution company Castle Films was quick to catch on. Over the next two decades Castle produced a multitude of shortened features for domestic projection. With the abridgements, one could cheaply build up a personal collection on 8mm or 16mm.

The films are screened in stuttering and fluttering 16mm, with faded images sometimes turning red from causes other than blood. It's the way they should be seen now. Do it, before it's too late.

No mere footnote in film history, these films demonstrate skillful storytelling in several layers, and you have to be impressed by the abilities of the unknown, uncredited editors. In some cases the condensed version improves on the original. In others, the restructuring creates staggering effects. Take The Mummy for instance. The film opens with a dreamy flashback that sets the tone for the whole piece. It plays up the love theme, but also clarifies the original's

OMNIBUS Go Short is constantly looking for distinctive approaches to film and storytelling. This year we will put our attention to the so-called omnibus film, or anthology film, in which several short films are compiled to form a feature length film. In doing so, filmmakers can tell their stories through the short film medium, but are at the same time able to offer a wide variety of perspectives on a subject, using the full duration of a feature film. The film may consist of short films from a single filmmaker, or short films on a theme by several filmmakers. During this edition, we will screen a selection of recent omnibus films that caught our attention.

QUALITY TIME After gaining much success with his shorts Jacco’s Film (2009) and Bukowski (2010), both of which were screened during former editions of Go Short, the film world didn’t hear from Daan Bakker for several years. But there’s a good reason for that: 108

in 2017 he returned with his first feature length film Quality Time, a build-up of five chapters in five short films, all about plodding young guys and the relationship with their caring parents.

IN THE SAME GARDEN For In the Same Garden, ten directors were invited to make a short film in which they offer their perspective on the TurkishArmenian relation. In ten short films they guide the viewer through totally different stories set in Australia, India, Iran, Italy, Romania, Spain and the United States. Former Go Short’s special guest Adrian Sitaru, 2017’s jury member Chema García Ibarra and 2017 special guests Ali Asgari and Farnoosh Samadi are among them. A great opportunity to see friends of Go Short shine in a compelling international project.

KALEBEGIAK The title of this film is made up of two Basque words: Kale (street) and Begiak

(eyes; gaze). In 12 short films it provides a visual walk through the city of San Sebastian, offering distinctive perspectives on this city. Kalebegiak was made by 15 Spanish directors from different generations, both established ones and freshman students. A great and unique opportunity to see San Sebastian through various eyes with distinctive cinematic approaches.

STORIES WE TELL SAT 8 – 17:00 – LUX 5

Reality is a slippery thing. Post-truth has become a household term and what we consider to be true might not depend on facts but on what kind of narrative we choose to believe. What could be a multitude of voices becomes a roar of discontent, each side shouting its truth to the face of the other.

The voices in these films are soft spoken. They speak to us directly, but they don't shout; they tell, orate, sing and whisper their stories to us.

In (semi)documentary filmmaking, the issue of what constitutes the truth of a story has always been a crucial question. Which stories get told, and by whom? Who is addressed and who is listening?

STORIES WE TELL brings together five films that investigate storytelling as a process that takes place between filmmaker, subject and viewer. The filmmakers are, in a critical way, aware of the power of the camera’s presence. They investigate how new narratives can emerge from the interaction between filmmaker and subject. They juxtapose the past and present, the powerful and marginal, looker and lookedat, human and animal.

OSCAR SHORTS Do you know that short films can also win an Academy Award? Usually they are a bit snowed under with all the blockbuster glamour, but we will give them the full attention they deserve. During Go Short you can see two programs: one with the nominees for an Oscar for best animation, and one with the nominees for an Oscar for best live-action. And of course we have two winners: Piper won an Oscar for best animation short and Sing won an Oscar for best live-action. And this is the right information – no change in winner’s cards. For the very first time, the award winners of Best Animation and Best Fiction film of the European Competition and Dutch Competition will become eligible for the Academy Awards.

FULLSCREEN SAT 8 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 19:30 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; LUX 2

A long time ago, people used to watch music videos on television channels like MTV. In the YouTube era, music videos moved to the Internet, where event videos from big stars compete for your attention with subtle masterpieces from niche artists. Music journalist Job de Wit separates the wheat from the chaff during his music video night FULLSCREEN, which he has been hosting in Amsterdam for the past three years (and in Rotterdam as of late). Thanks to Job and Fullscreen, music videos have since become part of the Netherlands Film Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event and the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. And now they are part of Go Short as well! Music videos on the big screen: seeing is believing. Music videos come in every genre imaginable. Sometimes they closely resemble the short fiction you see at film festivals. Usually with a much better soundtrack! As a special treat for Go Short, Job is going to screen some of the best narrative-driven music videos from this and last year. For this special occasion he also invited filmmaker and artist Emmanuel Adjei for a micro-retrospective and Q&A. This program is curated by Job de Wit

POP-UP EXPO: HIDDEN PLACES & INSTALLATION: THE VIEW HIDDEN PLACES Go Short is proud to present POP-UP EXPO: HIDDEN PLACES, a mixed media exhibition full of stories to discover. In an empty shop at Marikenstraat 50 we offer a stage to a selection of exciting projects, including virtual reality experiences and video installations. By applying technological developments and new forms of presentation, we can physically become part of a work and get a completely different experience of the stories we perceive. When someone can move freely through an installation, choosing where and when to move its focus, every experience becomes unique.

NHTV presents: The Dancer Awakens A dancer from inside a music box realizes she is trapped. At first she is fearful to step outside. The outside world threatens her, but she is no longer content to hide from it. In defiance, she uses her skills and strength to overcome the threats. 116

HoloLens Who would have thought holograms were going to be real one day? Using the Microsoft HoloLens you are now able to see and interact with holographic projections in your real life environment. NHTV uses combined efforts to create one of the first mixed reality animation short films. By wearing the HoloLens you can experience a story expressed in music and dance, all of it through holographic animations that mix in with reality. This project is developed for Go Short by the NHTV University of Applied Sciences Breda.

THE VIEW This installation sits you down and frames a story worth watching, with or without technology. Try spotting the View across Nijmegen during the festival. Enjoy a different scene every day.

PODCASTS & COFFEE TALKS PODCAST STUDIO: ALL EARS THU 6, FRI 7, SAT 8, SUN 9 – 11:00 – PAVILION Podcasts are movies for your ears.

Put on those headphones and let that film start rolling in your head. INSIDE AUDIO: PODCAST SPECIAL SAT 8 – 18:00 – LUX 6 In collaboration with the Nijmegen-based literary podcast Ondercast, we will host a live podcast program.

COFFEE TALK: PODCASTS THU 6 – 12:30 – PAVILION On Thursday we start up the festival day with a talkshow on podcasts. We will invite some of the creators of the projects that are on display throughout the entire festival. What inspires these artists to choose audio as the medium for their stories? What is the added value of the visual setup of the installation? The entrance is free and you can get a nice cup of coffee to start your festival day. Note: the program is in Dutch. COFFEE TALK: HOMEGROWN SAT 8 – 10:30 – PAVILION We meet with Sil van der Woerd, Douwe Dijkstra and Klaas-Arie Westland and talk about their work, influences and background.

Passion for films can start at an early age. That’s why Go Short is also offering a diverse program for younger visitors. On weekdays we provide screenings for school classes, while on Sunday we have special activities for the whole family.

FAMILY SHORTS & PLAYGROUND

SCHOOL PROGRAM

We offer two Family shorts screenings with the best kids’ films: one for ages 4 and up, and one for ages 10 and up. In collaboration with the library on Mariënburgplein we also offer a PLAYGROUND with a number of workshops that offer kids some hands-on experience in filmmaking. We will also take the traveling theme literally and present some teasers of the playground at various libraries across Nijmegen.

Go Short has made a selection of the best shorts to enjoy with the whole class! We offer programs for primary schools, secondary schools and higher education. For primary school we have two programs, divided by age category. For secondary education we can offer custom programs on demand. One of these is an exciting new project in collaboration with a local high school. Students from the course “Event and Organization” will organise their own film festival at LUX for fellow students.

Short films are more than anything the realm of talented young filmmakers. Not yet influenced by years of experience, they dare to take a leap into unknown ways of telling a story through film. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the rules. They make their own. Talents recreate the tricks of the trade.

their films reach the outside world. Luckily we manage to save some of them for you to see. For the first time this year we dedicate a complete program to the harvest of AKV|ST. JOOST - School of Fine Art and Design. They present cutting edge live action productions and documentaries, but also animated shorts from their bachelor and master students.

THE FUTURE FAMOUS

Every year we are surprised and baffled by the fresh ways of filmmaking we encounter in the search for the best shorts. Talents from all over Europe, but also from right around the corner, prove that inspiration never runs dry. We gratefully give them the stage to convince you too.

After winning the Dutch Competition at Go Short 2015, Guido Hendrikx opened last IDFA with his first feature-length documentary Stranger in Paradise. Now he returns to short film making with A Story About My Eyes, the new film for our nationwide supporting film circuit.

With GO AHEAD we aim to find the diamonds in the rough on the Dutch art and film academies. In the years before their graduation, students seldom see

Talents are found everywhere. But sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right on your doorstep. In our HOMEGROWN program we show you the best films of filmmakers from the

Nijmegen area. A lot of participants of the NEW ARRIVALS: GO SHORT CAMPUS often return to Nijmegen as well with a film in competition. We are delighted to see so many young talents become great filmmakers.

SUPPORTING FILM: A STORY ABOUT MY EYES Our mission to bring short films to the big screen doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop after the festival. During the year we have a broad range of distribution activities, which includes using our expertise and immense database to make short films available to the big public. One of our most successful endeavors is the project De Voorfilm Moet Terug. For this project we program supporting films for 13 film theaters all over the Netherlands, reaching an audience of 150.000 visitors every year. For the third consecutive year we invited a Dutch filmmaker to make a supporting film for this project. We are happy and proud that talented young director Guido Hendrikx (29) stepped up to the challenge. As a director Hendrikx has had international success with short documentaries such as Escort (2013) and Among Us (2014). In 2016 his first feature length documentary Stranger in Paradise opened IDFA and won the special jury prize there. Hendrikx stands out because of his unique and original take on controversial subjects. By not avoiding any confrontation, he opens the viewer up to new perspectives on harsh realities. Commissioning him for a film has been our desire for a long time and we are very happy with the beautiful result of the film A Story About My Eyes. It had its premiere April 1st in 13 Dutch theaters.

GUIDO HENDRIKX ABOUT A STORY ABOUT MY EYES: "In the summer of 2016, I spent a month in Sicily to film my first feature length documentary. Against the background of a small village called Siculiana I met some extraordinary people. There was one person in particular that left a unique, indelible impression on me. The striking Malian man shook my hand and told a story. It had something mythical and mysterious. It was a tale that really struck me and in which he, in my perception, gradually became an almost mythical figure. When Go Short asked me to make a supporting film, I couldn't stop thinking about this man's story when trying to come up with a narrative. His name is Bakary. This short film is a small tribute to his sincerity and to the ambiguity of life that happens to you." Guido Hendrikx, February 2017

To be (one) is to make (many). For future filmmakers it is essential to make a lot of films during their studies. In doing so, they have the ability to experiment and find their own signature in the process of filmmaking. A lot of the films students make are produced as assignments, and after being screened between the four walls of the classroom they enter oblivion. That’s a shame, because wonderful films, with even international potential, are being made. Go Short spots young talent and gives students the opportunity to screen their films on the big screen at an international film festival. Usually this opportunity does not arise until they have produced a graduation film. We don’t only screen their films; the students are present at the screening to discuss the creative process and their development during their studies. This offers an interesting peek into what happens behind the scenes in the Dutch academies which the audience otherwise has no access to. Go Ahead offers an impression of future Dutch film talent. The films are made by

students of the Netherlands Film Academy, HKU University of the Arts and the School of Fine Art and Design AKV|St. Joost. Films from the first, second and third year students are presented. Though their talents may come in various forms, the films have all been selected because of a distinct approach or idiosyncratic style. We encourage them to stay enthusiastic and to go full steam ahead!

AKV|ST. JOOST SAT 7 – 14:00 – LUX 2

One of the biggest art schools of the Netherlands is AKV|St. Joost - School of Fine Art and Design in Breda and Den Bosch. At their departments on film&photography and animation they educate students to become leading visual artists of the future generation. Over the past few years the student productions have grown in reputation, with multiple films ending up being selected in competitions at Go Short. The focus on cutting edge visual culture and the Master’s program in animation resulted in artistic works that attract international attention. That is why this year we dedicate an entire program to this art school, presenting to you the most striking shorts made by their students in the past year. The filmmakers will be present to tell you all about their films and future plans.

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 a unique and intensive program to 19 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 provide master classes, lectures, workshops and panel discussions by the industry's top experts. For this year we will offer masterclasses by our special guests Jonas Odell (Sweden) and Ali Asgari and Farnoosh Samadi (Italy/Iran).

134

Besides these masterclass we will offer workshops on different subjects, such as: Workshops distribution: platforms and do-it-yourself Workshop positioning and marketing of your film Workshop pitching your film idea to an audience or market Panel talk with festival programmers Round table sessions with producers Also, the participants are asked to prepare and bring a film plan which they will be working on during the campus. Peer-topeer and professional feedback will act as stepping stones towards their next short film. During the week the 19 participants will receive assignments and challenges, prompting them to mingle with other festival guests and expand their network. You might very well be part of their learning experience!

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.

Every year more than 500 film professionals from the Netherlands and all over Europe travel to Nijmegen to visit Go Short. Directors and producers, sales agents and buyers, programmers and distributors: all of these are of great importance to Go Short’s role as the only Dutch film festival fully dedicated to short film. All of them contribute to the festival in various ways, simply by being key players in the short film circuit. Go Short provides these film professionals with a meeting ground to exchange knowledge, meet interesting colleagues and cook up possible collaborations for future projects. We do so by hosting several lunches, dinners, drinks and parties, but also with special events aimed at members of the industry, such as the DUTCH SHORT FILM PREVIEW and of course the GO SHORT INDUSTRY DAY.

The Industry Day is a great opportunity to get up to speed on new possibilities for getting the most out of your short film. How do you get your film screened? What advantages – or disadvantages – are there in selling your film to VOD-platforms? Which new ways are being explored in telling stories across different media? What possibilities are there for funding your film in the Netherlands? And how do you make it to Hollywood? These and other questions will be asked and answered on Friday during the seventh edition of the Go Short Industry Day, organized in collaboration with the NBF (Dutch Association of Film and TV professionals) and EYE International.

We also encourage interaction within the network of local filmmakers by hosting a meet-up for this group of professionals.

On Saturday we focus more on the local film scene with a master class on extreme short filmmaking, organised by DZIGA, a creative film platform in Nijmegen. 135

INDUSTRY DAY FRIDAY 7 – 10:30-17:30 INDUSTRY DAY START: POSSIBILITIES FOR YOUR SHORT FILM IN THE NETHERLANDS 10.30 - 11.00 – LUX 7 – DUTCH SPOKEN Finding funding for shorts isn't always easy. The Creative Industries Fund NL encourages new forms of documentary filmmaking and storytelling by funding transmedia projects. Learn about their criteria illustrated with recently funded projects. Lisa Linde Nieveld from EYE International talks about how to gain attention for Dutch short films abroad.

PANEL TALK: AUTONOMY VS. COMMERCIALISM 11.00 - 12.30 – LUX 7 – ENGLISH SPOKEN A big struggle for many short filmmakers is to make a living out of creative work. Often filmmakers get the opportunity to do commissioned projects. Clients pay good money, but artistic freedom in these projects is often limited. This panel discusses how to make concessions, or how to fuse commercial interest and autonomous creativity. With producer Danielle Guirguis and filmmakers Jonas Odell, Tessa Pope and Douwe Dijkstra. 136

ONE-ON-ONE MEETINGS: 12:45 - 13:45 – T.B.A. During lunch we will set up one-on-one meetings with guests from the film industry. Join them at their table for a short and private conversation and ask them all you want to know.

PARALLEL SESSIONS: 14:00 - 16:15 PANELS: LUX 7 WORKSHOPS: REGIONAL ARCHIVES NIJMEGEN In the afternoon you can choose to participate in two workshops or seminars.

Panel Talk: Creating cross media stories 14:00 - 15:00 – LUX 7 – ENGLISH SPOKEN The days in which you only had one medium to tell your story are long gone. Not only has the number of platforms grown, the interaction between these media can also yield deeper meaning and reach out to new audiences. What platform(s) is (are) best suited for the story you want to tell? How do you translate an idea to multiple media? Panel guests include experts and artists in transmedia and interactive storytelling.

Workshop: NBF Presents – Sales and distribution to VOD platforms 14:00 - 15:00 – REGIONAL ARCHIVES NIJMEGEN – ENGLISH SPOKEN In recent years the options for distributing film online have grown significantly due to the increase of Video On Demand (VOD) platforms. What are the different types of VOD distribution? How can filmmakers benefit from this development? And what should they be cautious about, concerning rights and deals? In collaboration with the NBF (Dutch Association for Film and TV Professionals) we invite Stine Wangler (Kurzfilm Agentur) and Charlotte Tillieux (MUBI) to explain the ins and outs of selling shorts to VOD platforms.

Case study: 9 Days - From my Window in Aleppo 14:00 - 15:00 – REGIONAL ARCHIVES NIJMEGEN – ENGLISH SPOKEN When Floor van der Meulen and Thomas Vroege first met Syrian artist Issa Touma, they were fascinated by the footage he shot of the war that was going on right underneath his window in Aleppo. They ended up collaborating on an out of the ordinary

project. The film has been selected for over 100 film festivals, it won the European Film Award and recently they released a sequelshort. An intensive case study about the film’s inception, progress and the moral and practical issues that occurred.

Panel Talk: Finding screens – Ways to reach an audience 15:15 - 16:15 – LUX 7 – ENGLISH SPOKEN Short films usually don't have a very notable life after their run at festivals. There are ways however to give the festival afterlife a spark and avoid disappearing into YouTubelimbo. Online and offline curation platforms give short films the attention they deserve. Robert Munday, head programmer at Short of the Week, Axel Behrens from Kurzfilm Verleih and Simon Young of Shorts TV shed their light on this matter from their own expertise.

Masterclass: What can a PR-agent do for your short film? 15:15 - 16:15 – REGIONAL ARCHIVES NIJMEGEN – ENGLISH SPOKEN Getting good publicity for your short film is a grey area for a lot of filmmakers. During this masterclass Catherine Lyn Scott explains what a strong publicity campaign can do for your short film and why you need a good PR-agent. And she is a reliable source: her company London Flair PR was the force behind 2 Oscar-winning and 3 Oscarnominated short films in the last 3 years.

Panel Talk: Regional film funds in the Netherlands 15:15 - 16:15 – REGIONAL ARCHIVES NIJMEGEN – DUTCH SPOKEN The founding of Cinesud and the Limburg Film Fund in the province of Limburg has been a great incentive for film culture in

this region. Other regions and provinces in The Netherlands are now also exploring the options to set up similar initiatives. What is the goal these regional film platforms aim to achieve? And are filmmakers from other regions also eligible for the available funds? Guido Franken (Cinesud) and initiators of the other regional film platforms will discuss these questions and more.

DRINKS & NETWORK OPPORTUNITY 16:30 - 17:30 – PAVILION Seize the moment and talk to that one particular speaker you are desperately want to ask questions to or have a drink with fellow filmmakers and other film related colleagues.

DUTCH SHORT FILM PREVIEW + DUTCH PLATFORM SAT 8 – 12:00 – LUX 2

With Go Short we aim to be the go-to platform for Dutch filmmakers. We show the best films from the past year in our competitions, focus on Dutch film students, and screen films of local talents. But we want to do more. That’s why, for the very first time, we are going to host the DUTCH SHORT FILM PREVIEW. At this event a selection of both promising and celebrated Dutch filmmakers will give a preview of their latest short film. Festival programmers, distributors and buyers will receive an exclusive invite to attend this preview and get an unique opportunity to be among the first to see the films and chat with the filmmakers afterwards. In this manner we wish to strengthen the position of Dutch short films and improve the chances of these particular projects to be selected by 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 Dutch film submissions that Go Short received for the current edition. This way, Go Short can offer a gateway to all recent Dutch shorts. For a better overview we divided these films in different categories. 140
