WELCOME TO THE 5TH EDITION OF GO SHORT INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL NIJMEGEN
10 GOSHORT
Really, has it been five years? It seems such a short time ago that we met and discussed our first plans for a film festival. These years full of shorts have passed by so quickly. We are proud of all that we have achieved even though we still consider Go Short to be a young festival. Sure, we have grown. From 700 entries and 3.696 visitors in our first year, to 2.300 entries and hopefully over 15.000 visitors this year. From a bewildering variety of screening formats in the first years, we have now firmly entered the era of digital projection. This brings new challenges and opportunities. At the same time our organization has grown and we have recently exchanged the nice little office that served us well the first years, for a more spacious room. Nowadays we’re more than a festival, we are promoting short film in cinemas throughout the Netherlands all year round with our motto ‘De Voorfilm Moet Terug!’ (Bring back the pre-feature short!), we are featuring a weekly Short Shot online, and with our educational program we show youngsters how much fun filmmaking can be.
A lustrum, five years, a milestone indeed! Time to look back at where we started with the 5 Years Go Short retrospective. The Milestones program contains both the Dutch and the global history of short film. All these milestones are the great shorts that delivered us to the fifth edition of our festival, and now let’s see what’s next! We kick-off the festival with Inspiration Talks, four key note speakers which will set our eyes firmly on the horizon. They will offer us surprising paths to take, and four very different views of the future of short film. This year we introduce a Pay What You Want system. We aim to keep our prices affordable to make our festival accessible to as many as possible. Our industry professionals are welcome to pay an extra amount. With this contribution you can ensure that we can continue to develop and grow. So please, pay what you want. Any support, big or small, is highly appreciated. Enjoy the five days of our fifth edition! We are confident we have put together the best program so far, and we are looking forward to what the next five years will bring! Lisa ter Berg and Kirsten Ruber Festival directors

EXTRAPOOL PRESENTS A NIGHT OF SWEDING
MAWMAW SWEDE SHOP
Sat 16/3 – 20:00 – 24:00 – Extrapool
Wed – Sun: As soon as the sun goes down
The term ‘sweding’ originated in Michel Gondry’s film Be Kind Rewind. It involves the remaking of famous films in a low budget style, making do with household appliances and whatever can be gotten a hold of. With this idea in mind, Extrapool has invited Swedish artist Jonas Ohlsson as a guest curator. Jonas Ohlsson has in turn invited the following artists to perform at Extrapool: Andreas Nilsson, Magnus Monfeldt, Felicia von Zweikbergk and Ernst Markus Stein. FUCK gallery will join in on the night and present some of their finest work.
The word “workshop” gains new meaning with this installation by MawMaw. Passersby participate in our Swede Shop transforming the surroundings into a film set where famous films are being re–shot. Where a sweatshop would put you to work, Swede Shop is, instead, all about “sweding” the film of your choice (as seen in Be Kind Rewind). Use your imagination to create a universe around the movie of your choice.
At Extrapool, international artists are invited to create, analyse and present work that defies classification and crosses boundaries. 22 GOSHORT

MAASTRICHT GOES SHORT GO SHORT GOES MAASTRICHT Fri 15/3 & Sat 16/3 – Lumière Cinema – Maastricht, the Netherlands This year we expand our festival with a satellite edition in Maastricht. This seems a logical choice, since Nijmegen and Maastricht could be considered twin cities as they are the two oldest cities in the Netherlands and are both dominated by the big Dutch rivers Maas and Waal. Together with the international film platform Made in Europe, two festival days will be organized at Lumière Cinema. For this satellite edition Go Short has compiled a diverse selection of 5 programs full of shorts taken from this year’s festival program.
Masterclass In collaboration with Cinesud we present a masterclass on the distribution of short film to film festivals. Producer Marc Bary and director Hanro Smitsman share their experiences on this subject. Marc Bary is founder of the production company IJswater Films that has produced more than 45 shorts already, not to mention
numerous features and documentaries. Hanro Smitsman directed a number of these films, among others the international successes Raak and Dajo.
Made in Europe, which emanated from the former Film Festival Maastricht, has developed into a dynamic cultural platform for local, Euregional and international talent. The organization aspires to be a meeting space for filmmakers and to stimulate the development of upcoming filmmakers. A goal we at Go Short can fully support. www.madeineurope.nu 24 GOSHORT

Originally from Italy, Gaia has worked in the film industry in the UK and France in differing capacities, including animation production, film festivals, distribution and programming. In 2009 and 2010 she was the Short Film Programmer of the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Gaia has recently become the Short Film Programmer of the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival in Bristol.
Michael Krotkiewski recently graduated from The National Film School of Sweden. Krotkiewski’s films speak a direct and uncensored language with suggestive undertones. His films tend to exist on the border between video art and documentary. He often portraits people from an ’above-perspective’; as the perpetrator, the genius, or the one who has the power to tell the story. His latest films I Dreamed about Pol Pot and 9 Scenes of Violence were both selected for the IDFA competition program and have been shown all over the world. For 9 Scenes of Violence Michael was awarded the Dioraphte Encouragement Award at Go Short 2012.
John Anderson is a film critic for Variety, Newsday, the Wall Street Journal and America magazine. He appears regularly in the New York Times, and has contributed to the Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The Nation, Film Comment, Artforum, and the Village Voice.

He is currently working on a book about Finnish director Pirjo Honkasalo. Along with David Sterritt, he edited “The B List,” the most recent collection by the National Society of Film Critics. He is a three-time chairman of the New York Film Critics Circle and a member of the National Society of Film Critics.
Before founding SND Films in 1994, Sydney started as a production assistant and coordinator for feature films and commercials in 1990. He now has a longstanding reputation as an international sales agent of award winning short films, TV-movies and (feature) documentaries, including being the exclusive agent for all Bill Plympton’s animated shorts outside the USA. He co-founded the much needed House of Shorts, has been on the Dutch Film Fund shorts commission from 2001-2010 and, until 2010, was on the board of directors for the Go Short – International Short Film Festival Nijmegen and has been a part of the advisory board since 2011. Sydney attends many major festivals and film markets. Many people call him Mr. Short now.
Laila Pakalnina is one of the most prominent Latvian directors. After finishing her studies of television journalism in Moscow she went on to study at the famous Moscow VGIK film school from which she graduated in 1991. As a director and scriptwriter she has worked on 21 documentaries, 5 shorts, and 4 fiction features.

The European Competition is our pride and joy. The number of entries rises every year and our team of knowledgeable selectors grows accordingly. We are happy to welcome back 12 directors whose films were a part of our competition program in previous years. We also have another 48 films in competition, made by fresh faces. The production rate of the European filmmakers, both in quantity and quality, and how many new and talented filmmakers there are to discover year after year is truly amazing.
The length of these shorts range from two to forty minutes and their genres include a range from straight forward live action storytelling to out–of–the–box experiments. Maybe even more amazing is the spectrum of different emotions these films play upon, from vicarious shame to melancholy, from hilarity to horror. Many films will be rooted in your mind or heart, by either making you wonder, making you think, or exciting your imagination.
We would like to thank our selection committee for their efforts in selecting a strong program from the 2246 entries. Go Short’s directors Lisa ter Berg and Kirsten Ruber and head of the program department Wouter Jansen selected this year’s shorts together with Floor Adams (independent animator), Rosan Boersma (Rosan Productions), Manon Bovenkerk (ZAAL5, Filmhuis Den Haag), Astrid Bussink (documentary filmmaker), Bart Jansen (Beeldbuis Festival), Marlijn Klerk (Holland Doc 24), Tanja Koning (Discovery Festival), Wiepko Oosterhuis (Media Fund), Egbert de Ruiter (Utrecht School of the Arts) and Dirk van der Straaten (De Balie, Amsterdam).

Two strangers unexpectedly meet at an airport. He mistakenly confuses her to be his assigned driver. She, enchanted by the random encounter, does not hurry to prove him wrong.
Egypt, a country under revolution. Cairo, a megacity with the worst traffic in the world. In endless traffic jams, passengers and taxi drivers talk and debate about their present and future. And we discover the details that draw their lives.
Like every morning, men get on the tram to go to work. But on this day, to the rhythm of the tickets inserted in the ticket-stamping machine, the vehicle gets erotic and the conductress’ desire turns the reality into a surrealistic and phallic fantasy.

Three friends, Franck, Hugo and Philippe, go to a housewarming party in a Paris apartment. At the door, two younger teenage men try talking their way in. Tension mounts...
Four individuals’ paths cross in public places. Slowly, prudent exchanges are met with vibrant physical responses, forming the image of decisive encounters.
Mr. Balogh, a not very affluent Hungarian farmer, lords over his wife, children and his ‘‘hired’’ slave. Cut off from the rest of the world on a distant farm in the Great Plains, he tries to uphold a family ideal he formulated from rigid traditions.
After appearing in the film Rosemary’s Baby, by Roman Polanski, Elmer Modlin ran away with his family. They ran away to a distant land, where they stayed inside a dark apartment for thirty years.

Choir Tour
Director: Gunhild Enger fiction / Norway / 2012 / DCP / 17’ / Dutch premiere
Director: Edmunds Jansons animation / Latvia / 2012 / HD / 5’ / Dutch premiere
Premature tells the story of Norwegian Martin and his pregnant Spanish girlfriend, Lucia. We follow the pair during their first 15 minutes on Norwegian soil, observing Lucia’s first encounter with this new culture and her in-laws. The film depicts a car trip full of social tensions, expectations and misunderstandings.
A world-famous boys’ choir goes on a tour. In the hands of their severe conductor they are an obedient musical instrument. But left alone without supervision, they are just playful children. Once in Seoul the conductor is accidentally trapped in the elevator, and the boys are left alone.

Casapo, the son of a railway man, is called home following news regarding the death of his father. With the help of his older sister, the only other survivor from his family of 8 brothers and sisters, he crosses the vast land of Zambia, to attend his father’s burial in the south, in Kafulafuta. This is the town where he was born, a town that was once alive with trains passing daily and now is quiet as a tomb.
Roberto, who lives in Sweden, goes back to Mexico to celebrate his grandmother’s 90th birthday together with his nearest and dearest. Family albums with photographs hide a dark secret - the faces of two out of five children have been blotted out of all photographs. What happened in the past that his grandma is so unwilling to talk about? Robert will use his stay in Mexico to try to solve the family riddle. Soon, he will have to decide whether the difficult family past should remain a secret after all.
Using personal home video footage, this documentary follows how a young boy attemping to avoid a poor mark on a school assignment in 1990’s Sarajevo, may have contributed to a civil war.

‘‘If animals do not follow their instincts, they go under. With human beings, it is the other way around.’’ Mona is a married woman with children who goes on a personal journey under the radar in her own city, without telling anyone.
One Line is the line, which connects the dream with the reality. One Line is not about the destination, but the journey. One Line is a puzzle, a puzzle which contains pieces of a life.
Rodrigo is a young deaf man from Recife, north east Brazil. He works as an installer of car stereos in a small dealership, on the outskirts of town. Despite his deafness, sound penetrates his day to day life and he harnesses it’s vibrations, allowing it to pulse through his veins.
Brief moments of life stolen from passing-by strangers form a sequence of events hidden in plain sight.
In an enclosed space eleven nameless strangers, nine Africans and two Chinese, are on a journey into the unknown. In transition from one world to another under challenging circumstances, they are forced to confront each other’s prejudices in order to establish a temporary and functioning society. The film reflects a world in which everything ultimately comes down to survival.

Are we struggling to fit in, to go with the flow? Or are we fighting to stand out? Who wants to be in the rat race to end up in a place where there’s no room for personality?

Stefan is turning 18. His dad decides this is the day for his son to “become a man”, with all that it entails. Only things do not go as planned and the father receives a life-changing lesson from his son.
Gerês, Portugal. Days are born with fire and die with it. Men renew the earth with ancient practices. All beings inhabit the same place.

The wind roars. The sea crashes against the cliff. Two meters of rock, that is the strip of water and oxygen where the goose barnacle grows. Two meters where the sea shows no mercy, and beats with millenary strength. A line of waves and foam where Serxo and his comrades fight for a bite out of the sea. A line between bravery and fear. Between recklessness and common sense. Two meters without margin of error. That is where the barnacles live. Where Serxo lives.
The story is about the director’s old friend Simon. Simon is 23 years old when he finds himself unexpectedly becoming a father. At first Simon is confused but subsequently he decides to embrace the situation and ends up gaining a strong emotional relationship.
One totally ordinary warm summer night the residents of a totally ordinary apartment house happen to gather in the yard. A citizen of questionable motives takes advantage of the situation and the ending of course is quite expectable.

Linda, a little girl rejected by other children and by her family, lives in a small town where a serial killer is prowling. One evening, she sees a strange person on the street carrying a bag with an arm hanging out of it.
Forced to return to his naturist roots, Willy bungles his way into noble savagery.
The last day of a man’s life is seen as on a videotape which is being rewound to the moment he wakes up in the morning, having no idea what lays ahead.

Once upon a time, there lived a man who had nothing besides himself. And a dream, a great big dream. But an immense and dangerous sheet of water spread out between him and his dream. The man set out. He arrived at his destination due to his courage and tenacity. But was that what he had been searching for?
Vietnam. The early hours in Hanoi of three young brothers newly arrived from their native village. Around the Long Bien Bridge, link between city and countryside, they cross the path of a young cop and a street vendor.
In our urban world, the system pins down people to the ground with disregard. But seen under a new angle the city becomes a new space to be rediscovered and to be reconstructed...

Linda, a little girl rejected by other children and by her family, lives in a small town where a serial killer is prowling. One evening, she sees a strange person on the street carrying a bag with an arm hanging out of it.
Forced to return to his naturist roots, Willy bungles his way into noble savagery.
The last day of a man’s life is seen as on a videotape which is being rewound to the moment he wakes up in the morning, having no idea what lays ahead.

Once upon a time, there lived a man who had nothing besides himself. And a dream, a great big dream. But an immense and dangerous sheet of water spread out between him and his dream. The man set out. He arrived at his destination due to his courage and tenacity. But was that what he had been searching for?
Vietnam. The early hours in Hanoi of three young brothers newly arrived from their native village. Around the Long Bien Bridge, link between city and countryside, they cross the path of a young cop and a street vendor.
In our urban world, the system pins down people to the ground with disregard. But seen under a new angle the city becomes a new space to be rediscovered and to be reconstructed...

Overlapping scenes from Funny Games and its American remake reveal the thriller to be a formal imprisonment. Trapped by the director’s structure, the protagonists will not escape this time around either. We witness their descent into a horrow that is twice as gruesome.

Director: Karin Fisslthaler art film / Austria / 2011 / 35mm / 7’ / Dutch premiere
In a worldwide collaboration between 12 of the most booming young animators on the scene today, we follow Bear and Duck in a relentless chase for a green bottle and a handful of red pills in a quest to set things right...
Satellites shows images of a strange ritual of powerlessness amongst youngsters spread through the video-sharing platform YouTube. At its center are posing, gestures and touching. Bodies are taken from the ‘’disembodied’’ space of the internet and embedded into the social context of the cinema, to reflect the representation of the body in todays media, the rift between the self and the world, the private and the public.

Why do we look away from millions of animals in industrial farms while pampering and humanizing others? In Facing Animals pigs, chickens, cows and dogs are the protagonists, humans are the antagonists. We see the world from the perspective of the animals. The stunning, often confronting, visuals take the viewer on a rollercoaster of emotions. It becomes clear how complex and often bizarre the relationship between man and animal is.
The film Like aspires to be a lighthearted treat to the viewer. Lotta Sweetliv herself introduces Lin, a small catlike figure who sings to you while she dances in an everchanging colourful world.
Jurre (15) misses his father Tom, that has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Because of this condition his dad slowly starts to forget things. Almost as if pieces of his memory are being deleted. That’s why father and son stopped doing fun things together. Deep inside the only thing Jurre wants is to spend more time with his father. Just like the good old days.
Friends Henderson and Morris are climbing a mountain, connected by a rope. They take an easy passage, but a loss of oversight leads to Henderson’s fall. Morris cannot prevent falling too. Seconds later he finds himself hanging above an abyss, realizing the balance is unstable.
Cathleen, a single mother on benefits, lives in North Amsterdam with her five children and a € 30,000 debt. She wants to break with the past and dreams of being a “normal family”. To pay off her debt, Cathleen has to survive on €80 a week. But a lack of money is hardly her biggest problem.
A portrait of a lonely man working as a lifeguard in a crowded swimming pool. For cultural reasons, he is not allowed to see his own son. Taking a dive after closing hours brings him comfort, underneath the surface people are unable to hear his cry.

Why do we look away from millions of animals in industrial farms while pampering and humanizing others? In Facing Animals pigs, chickens, cows and dogs are the protagonists, humans are the antagonists. We see the world from the perspective of the animals. The stunning, often confronting, visuals take the viewer on a rollercoaster of emotions. It becomes clear how complex and often bizarre the relationship between man and animal is.
The film Like aspires to be a lighthearted treat to the viewer. Lotta Sweetliv herself introduces Lin, a small catlike figure who sings to you while she dances in an everchanging colourful world.
Jurre (15) misses his father Tom, that has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Because of this condition his dad slowly starts to forget things. Almost as if pieces of his memory are being deleted. That’s why father and son stopped doing fun things together. Deep inside the only thing Jurre wants is to spend more time with his father. Just like the good old days.
Friends Henderson and Morris are climbing a mountain, connected by a rope. They take an easy passage, but a loss of oversight leads to Henderson’s fall. Morris cannot prevent falling too. Seconds later he finds himself hanging above an abyss, realizing the balance is unstable.
Cathleen, a single mother on benefits, lives in North Amsterdam with her five children and a € 30,000 debt. She wants to break with the past and dreams of being a “normal family”. To pay off her debt, Cathleen has to survive on €80 a week. But a lack of money is hardly her biggest problem.
A portrait of a lonely man working as a lifeguard in a crowded swimming pool. For cultural reasons, he is not allowed to see his own son. Taking a dive after closing hours brings him comfort, underneath the surface people are unable to hear his cry.

Three youngsters make a roadtrip to Sevilla that will change their lives forever.
Thijs and Diana are the outsiders of their class. They don’t even like each other, ironically enough for the same reason. During a class party, they take part in the teenagers' game ''7 minutes in heaven'' and are locked in a wall cabinet together. Initially, they just want to leave the cramped space as soon as possible. But at some point during those seven minutes, something substantial changes - so they can leave the closet as themselves.
The demise of the older hostess Maria, who misses her flight, which leaves her in an unknown world. In a rapid accumulation of disturbing, hilarious, romantic and threatening situations awaits her a fatal end.
The famous shower scene from Hitchcock's Psycho serves as the starting point for examining whether an actor and the character they play can be separated, by making several variations. And can the bare bones of a scene be revealed by removing the actor entirely? The set was previously exhibited as an autonomous sculpture.

Jack Jansen is leading a happy farmers life. When prices suddenly drop, he is caught in a dramatic downward spiral, having to work harder for less money. A salesman and a scientist seem to have a solution, but will this put an end to his trouble? Or could the cure be worse than the disease?
The final wish of elderly Wil is to let life go and die peacefully in her own bed. This is the task of homecare assistant Frank, making sure this difficult path is taken as comfortable as possible and also keeping watch as Wil's daughter and son-in-law wait for the final moments. Unfortunately when that moment arrives, panic strikes and Wil's family loses sight of her final wish.
A very infertile husband is so desperate to have a baby that he actually treats the liposuction fat from his wife as his baby. Strangely enough this all does lead to a cure!
Slightly absurdistic story about a busy working mother who is left to herself when her husband forgets about their family outing. Stressed, she arrives at the fun fair with her children, where she is annoyed to find herself surrounded by all sorts of beaming families. A feeling of loneliness besets her. In her search of warmth and security, she doesn’t only dispense with her husband, but also her common sense.

YOUTH COMPETITION We are proud to present a young counterpart to our international jury: a group of five enthusiastic adolescents who are sold on films. They will critically judge ten European short films. They provide a fresh outlook on the program by judging films on their own standards and expectations of what they consider to be a proper film and what stories trigger their imaginations. The challenge will be to choose a winner from the ten selected films.
66 GOSHORT
The films eligible for this award represent the wide variety of films that screen at Go Short, which will make it more difficult to compare the films and choose between them. On the one hand you have the more classic animation (but with a twist) REW DAY going alongside the experimental and melodic city symphony Lisboa Orchestra. Or the personal father-and-son-relation documentary Delete opposite of the exciting thriller Balance taking place high up in the mountains.
YOUTH COMPETITION INDEX
This wide variety in films will present a challenge to the jury’s assignment of coming to a joint decision. We look forward to hear the fresh perspective these young jury members have to offer.

Off the Board is a short poetic documentary dealing with a sense of fear through the experience of diving. This documentary represents the physical beauty of diving alongside the innate expressions of fear. The vivid and striking images of the young divers are contrasted against a disembodied voice narrating the individual’s struggle to come to terms with their inner fears.
Wendy, a 16-year-old girl, finds herself spending the summer vacation in an abandoned holiday resort, where her Grandmother is the caretaker. In the village at the end of the world, there’s a clique of local teenagers drinking and killing time in the empty pool. Wendy experiences a bitter-sweet summer love affair.
Oscar is coming of age, against his better judgment. In doing so he must experience the necessary evil of leaving something behind, but he can still feel it in the pit of his stomach.
In the middle of her preparation for a tournament, young gymnast Isabel visits an abortion clinic. Her inner struggle is visualised poignantly.
Good Night is an intimate portrait of two 14-year-old girls on a night where their childhood innocence is threatened by an awakening sexuality. The film follows the girls as they head into London on a secret night out, dressed way beyond their years and oozing a sexuality they barely own. Giving mixed signals to the men they meet, the boundaries between innocent play and dangerous seduction start to blur.
Straight with You is about the eleven-year-old Melvin. His parents already know he isn’t into girls, but at school he is afraid to tell his secret. And what will he do now Yentel, the cutest girl in his class, has send him a love letter? A cheerful and yet confronting coming-of-age portrait in uncharted territory: homosexuality before puberty.

Rosa, Anna’s Lil’ Sis
Three sisters are growing up together. Rosa admires her gifted sister Anna as much as she feels incredibly jealous of her. She also envies her little sister, Helena. Often she feels like an outsider when she plays with them. It makes her feel like withdrawing into her own little world. As Rosa tries more and more to be like Anna, tensions between the three sisters grow and Rosa’s jealousy begins to take on a life of its own.

Rosa, Anna’s Lil’ Sis
Three sisters are growing up together. Rosa admires her gifted sister Anna as much as she feels incredibly jealous of her. She also envies her little sister, Helena. Often she feels like an outsider when she plays with them. It makes her feel like withdrawing into her own little world. As Rosa tries more and more to be like Anna, tensions between the three sisters grow and Rosa’s jealousy begins to take on a life of its own.

Endless Day
Director: David René Christensen animation / Denmark / 2012 / HD / 6’ / Dutch premiere
Director: Anna Frances Ewert documentary / Germany / 2012 / HD / 10’ / Dutch premiere
In a desolate workplace, one man finds himself very devoted to his job and responsibilities. With his entire body covered in a heavy shell of post-its, he takes on more and more tasks from his supervisor and collegues until he is completely blinded by his burden. Suddenly the man finds himself in a scrapyard located far away from the factory. He is forced to face his fear of nonexistence as he passes through an environment that strips him of his heavy load.
The film is about an insomniac’s inner journey through a sleepless night. For most people sleep comes naturally but for some the night turns into an ongoing struggle to drift off into oblivion. This film explores what it’s like to be awake against one’s own will and the feelings of despair and loneliness that accompany the passing of time. Through the protagonist’s eyes we are drifting in a state between wakefulness and sleep. The abstract and poetic imaginary takes us deeper into the vicious circle of someone trying to rest with little prospect of relief.

AUTOUR DE MINUIT PIONEERS OF ANIMATION Spectacular and provocative animated shorts is what Autour de Minuit stands for. Both through their own productions as well as the films they distribute, Autour de Minuit has become a hallmark for committed and innovative films. Go Short presents a special selection of the best productions and distribution films this remarkable film production company has to offer. We asked Nicolas Schmerkin, founder of the company, how this all came about.
78 GOSHORT
I started the company in 2001 to develop my own projects, and in 2003, the company began producing films for others. We started with Obras by Hendrick Dusolier. We tried and succeeded in getting normal financing for an experimental animated short film, which was very strange because there was no script and no storyboard, just one page of intentions and some graphics.
Since then we have made 40 to 45 short films. Every time we try to find a new approach to the visuals as well trying to find new ways of telling stories. We never do the same film twice. Some of our films are more political, some are comedies, some are very graphical and just try to evoke emotions. Every time we are beginners and with every film, once again, we are wondering how we will manage to pull it off.
Every day, we are being rebels We managed to make the film and it was quite successful at festivals around the world. It proved that we could do something new by mixing techniques and genres. We shot video, used archive footage, pictures, and ink, and meshed this all together in 2D and 3D experimental animation. The fact that we managed to do such a strange film within the system was a big stimulus to continue with Autour de Minuit. It was the prototype of what we wanted to do and it confirmed that we could continue and go even deeper into experimentation.
I consider every project we do as one of my own. The idea is to follow each project as closely as possible, which is hard because now we have something like twenty projects. Animation has a very long production period, so it’s not like being in twenty shootings at the same time. I am taking care of the script for one, working on the cinematic for another, then organizing the animation for yet a third.
Every day, we are being rebels. It’s like fighting against the norm, not by really fighting, but by showing that it is possible to do things in a different way. I like the short film because it really is a space with freedom of expression. Not only of political expression, but also of esthetical expression. Most of the things we do would never be possible in feature films, because it would cost too much money and you would have to make too many compromises. For the distribution part of our catalogue we spot films at festivals, on the internet, and we ask people we work with to send their new films. Because we want to have a precise editorial policy, there is active research. The films we distribute need to have an original aesthetic approach. We are looking for films that mix it up like the other films in our catalogue. The idea behind distributing is to create a label for these kinds of hybrid films.
I like short film because it really is a space with freedom of expression Very often distribution is the first step in a relationship with a producer or a director. First we distribute their film and the next step is to coproduce a new film. We do a lot of international co-productions, which is interesting in itself and of course with more countries funding you stand a stronger chance. For example, The Monster of Nix by Rosto could have only existed because it was a co-production between Holland, France and Belgium. Our mission is to enjoy doing every single project we do for the love of art not for the money, but we are just happy to make a living of it.

SWEDISH SHORTS LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SHORTS Magic, lies, peer pressure, and a lost friend named Frank. Not the first things you would think about when someone mentions Sweden. But for us, thanks to the great Swedish shorts, these surprising subjects have redefined our image of the country.
86 GOSHORT
Without a doubt Sweden is the most prominent Scandinavian country when it comes to film, with cinematic heavyweights like Ingmar Bergman and Lasse Hallström. Swedish short films certainly don’t lag behind in the international spotlight. Just looking at the previous edition of Go Short, we had eleven Swedish films in competition of which three received an award and one a special mention. With a consistent supply of quality shorts, it was high time to dedicate a focus program entirely to Sweden. In co-operation with the Uppsala International Short Film Festival and the Swedish Film Institute, we present a selection of some of the best recent short films Sweden has to offer. Go Short offers you an insight into the different faces of Swedish short film. This Is Sweden takes you straight to the heart of the wide and impressive Swedish landscape. These bleak, treefilled images make you yearn for a return to nature.
Great Explorers shows the work of filmmakers who transcend both country and genre boundaries through exploration of other countries and breaking new stylistic ground. With classic shorts by Jonas Odell, Ruben Östlund and Jens Assur, as well as newcomers like Go Short winner Erik Bäfving with his intense InBetweener. The shorts in Cool Smiles show a lighter side of Sweden. Though they are bound to make you laugh, can they really be called comedies? Getting locked in your giant puppet suit, an affair in a hotel or getting left behind with only your dog; perhaps not the laugh out loud kind of material, but it will certainly put a smile on your face.
FILMKRANT SWEDEN TALK Fri 15 – 20:45 – Pavilion On Friday night we will organize a talk between two acclaimed Swedish directors with a film in the retrospective led by Filmkrant journalist Jos van der Burg.

Can a nation be assessed by asking - or answering - a couple of direct questions? This speedy roadmovie tries. The two directors travelled throughout Sweden asking the same simple questions wherever they went: Why are there so few people in Sweden and wouldn’t it be nice if more foreigners moved in?
An inner journey of a young girl catching reindeer in the twilight expanses of the far north.
Linerboard is a film about the thin paper in between cardboard, about how fragile items need to be properly protected.
Autumn, the season when nature prepares to be reborn by dying. In this time of the year we meet two young fellows. They are perhaps not the most popular characters in the small Tornedalen community since their method of subsistence is on the outskirts of morality.
Henrik gathers some friends at a cottage by a lake, deep in the forest. How will these city folk cope with the countryside? And how will they react to each other, way out in the wilderness?
A 30-year-old man is celebrating Midsummer’s Eve together with friends in Smögen, on the west coast of Sweden. He makes his friends come and watch as he is going to jump in to the sea from a very high bridge.

Long Gone Day Dagen Lång
Director: Johanna Bernhardson documentary / Sweden / 2008 / HD / 14’ A film about a couple of whom one has forgotten his whole life and about the loneliness of the other.

A film about a teenage boy, his father’s suicide and the emotional vacuum that occurred afterwards. Through forgotten drawings and photographs, we follow a young boy’s attempt to escape a painful memory and handle things on his own just like his dad used to do. After years of increasing isolation, it is love that leads to an inevitable ultimatum. Or he will continue to follow in his dad’s footsteps or he will let time catch up.
David is, like so many 10 year old boys, fascinated by war. At the age of 24 he establishes himself as a news photographer with the world’s theatres of war as field of occupation. We meet him in Rwanda in May 1994 in the midst of the genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Together with the thirty year older reporter Mats, he travels through the war-torn country in order to depict the massacres. The film is about the coupling between the little boy’s exciting wargames and the attractiveness of real wars to the adult.
Holger Johansson is a lonely man. There’s something he needs to get off his chest before it’s too late. The time has come to reveal what happened that night fifteen years ago - the night a miracle took place at a dreary concrete motel somewhere along Rout
My sister-in-law shows me a magazine for teenagers from 1980. Under the heading ‘Wanted’ Annelie is searching for Jörgen, whom she met at a rock concert with Gyllene Tider in Karlshamn, Sweden. Twenty-four years have passed. Did Annelie ever find Jörgen?

For more than a decade, eccentric filmmaker Johannes Nyholm has worked on films featuring a little clay figure he calls “Puppetboy”. Many hours of animation have been completed, yet very little has been made available to the public. Following Nyholm behind the scenes we discover a very intimate relationship between him and his protagonist.
Glenn, the Great Runner, is about to compete in a race. Will he get the support he needs?
Gösta is a bulldog, about 75 pounds heavy. He is 4 years old. Lennart is in his 50's and sings at the opera. They live together and love each other.
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.

MILESTONES SHORT FILM IS THE LABORATORY OF INNOVATION This fifth Edition is Go Short’s first milestone; a moment to celebrate and a good time to look back on the many milestones in short film history. Short film has always been the laboratory of innovation within film history. Together with various partners, we compiled the following three Milestone programs. Together with International Short Film Festival Leuven we present Milestones in Short Film History. We joined forces with EYE to compile a program of Dutch Milestones and asked several Dutch ambassadors of short film to select their favorite Dutch short for our Stepping Stone exposition.
MILESTONES IN SHORT FILM HISTORY 100 YEARS OF FILM HISTORY SHOWN IN 30 OUTSTANDING SHORT FILMS. These shorts take us from the early experiments in 1900 to the first online viral in 2000 in chronological order. These Milestones exemplify technical and artistic developments or are the films that introduced us to some of the most influential filmmakers of the years to come. Dirk van der Straaten (De Balie) will introduce all screenings. A accompanying publication with extensive background information and the historical significance of each film is available at the Industry Desk.

5 YEARS GO SHORT 1 WED 13 – 22:00 – LUX 1 SAT 16 – 21:30 – LUX 5
The fifth edition of Go Short is a cause for celebration. Whether you missed out on the festival in previous years or want to relive some memories, this program will provide you with some highlights of the first festival editions.
SHORT FILM SPECIALS Sand Zand
Joost van Ginkel When Go Short screened Sand in 2009, Joost van Ginkel was a relatively unknown name in the Dutch film industry. With his short film debut he won the Go Short Award for best Dutch Film and the following year he won the same award with Kiss. In 2011 he premiered his feature debut 170Hz.
The Herd
Ken Wardrop Ken Wardrop is an observant documentary maker, who makes intimate portraits. The Herd has been very dear to us ever since we saw it the first time. Whenever we cross a pasture, we’re always a bit more observant: are those deer feet we see?
The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper’s Mother Felix Massie
Felix Massie has pretty much become a regular at Go Short. The Surprise Demise of Francis Cooper’s Mother was screened in 2010, Massie was a jury member at Go Short 2011, and last year he designed the festival bag and t-shirt. This film shows his unique sense of humor.
Arena
Framing the Other
European shorts can be exotic too as is shown by Portuguese productions over the past years. In 2011 Go Short even made Portugal the focus country. João Salaviza displays his mastery in Arena which won a well-deserved Palm d’Or at Cannes.
Last year Framing the Other was one of the most talked about shorts at all its screening venues. The audience was never sure what to think of it; laughter was mixed with aversion. This is something only the best shorts manage to do, giving you food for thought while making you laugh at the same time.

An all-time favorite of both the festival programmers and selection commission, Believe was screened and nominated for Best European Fiction at the second festival edition in 2010.
This animated short is pure eye candy. Muto is an exceptional animation painted on public walls of in-door Baden and out-door Buenos Aires. Blu won the award for Best European Animation at the first festival edition.
A true audience favorite from the second edition. Visitors from the early years must be excited to see Where is Kim Basinger again!
A very short, but nevertheless impressive and delicate short film by a very talented student.
2 Birds is a defining short for the initiators of Go Short. It is one of the short films that convinced us to boldly choose shorts.

The weekend before Go Short a group of film fanatics work their behinds off to finish their film in time. In a hectic and sleepless weekend, the teams write, script, shoot, edit, score and render a film. The extreme time limit places a restriction on the filmmakers, but it is also liberating by putting the emphasis on actions rather than words. On Friday night, each team receives a character, a prop, a line of dialogue and a genre, all to be included in their film. The completed film must be finished at the deadline on Sunday.
48 HFP at Go Short Only a few days later, all completed films premiere on the silver screen at Go Short. No pressure – just your world premiere at Go Short in a venue chockfull of friends, professionals, critics and visitors. A jury decides the winner of the 48 Hour Award, who will then compete in the international final.
