WELCOME TO THE 6TH EDITION OF GO SHORT INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM FESTIVAL NIJMEGEN

10

GOSHORT

A SHORT WELCOME...

Short Films, Great Ideas! That says it all. These films may be short in running time, but they never run out of ideas. The biggest stories, emotions and experiences fit into the shortest of films. It’s still a rare pleasure to enjoy short films on the big screen in the Netherlands, although a lot has changed since we started Go Short six years ago. The banking crisis had just started and the future wasn’t looking very promising in those days. That didn’t stop Go Short however, as it has been the fastest growing film festival of the Netherlands for several years now. We’re happy to be part of a new short film era. The digitalization of production and distribution methods offers great opportunities to filmmakers. One mouse click is all it takes nowadays for short films to go everywhere. We do not know how this is going to end, but we are pretty sure we want to be there to see it!

Year round we now host short film screenings in 18 art house cinemas before the main feature, offer a weekly short film on our Short Shot blog, and participate in numerous festivals and events throughout the country. This year we joined France and Germany in their celebration of the shortest day of the year and held our own European Short Film Day. Our five day Go Short festival is still the driving force behind everything we do however. We’re still doing what we do best: bringing short films to the big screen. The competition program we have compiled is our pride and joy, as always. On top of that we offer a great focus program on food films and have a look at short films from Belgium.

We are also proud to welcome Paul Wright as our special guest.

He’s a great talent who even managed to convince us to make a rare exception and include his feature debut in our program. To compensate for its length we are happily going to take a closer look at the shortest of short moving images: GIFs. New impulses are coming from Pohjankonna Oy, who stayed with us for two months as Artist in Residence at the Besiendershuis. We are also going to explore the cinematic possibilities in the virtual realm of the Oculus Rift. To strengthen the roots of short film in the Netherlands, we are proud to introduce Go Ahead. This is a new program featuring works of Dutch film students before graduation, which is an effort to expose them to the appreciation short films receive at international festivals like Go Short.

When film lovers, filmmakers, and film students all gather in Nijmegen it fills us with energy and inspiration. Even if some of us only meet once a year, it’s still an immense pleasure to see all of you here. This is where everything comes together.

Whether it’s animation, fiction, documentary or art film, at Go Short you can indulge in shorts of all genres. We hope you enjoy our program. Some shorts will appeal to you more than others, but we can say with certainty that each and every film has been made with passion and inspiration. The unbridled enthusiasm, the immense diversity: this is why we love the short film format so much.

INDUSTRY DAY INDUSTRY DAY – (CO)PRODUCTION Fri 11/4 / 10:00–17:30 What possibilities are available for co-production in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe? What do you have to keep in mind when co-producing? What are possible advantages? What alternative modes of production are available?

What might be future models? These questions will be central to the fourth edition of the Go Short Industry Day, which is organised in collaboration with the NBF (Dutch Association of Film and television professionals). This day will offer an inspiring and practical program for Dutch and international filmmakers, distributors and buyers. >>>>>

(Co)production: possibilities for Dutch filmmakers 10:30–11:30 / LUX 7 / Dutch spoken

(Co)production: two international case studies 11:30–13:00 / LUX 7

What possibilities are available for Dutch filmmakers? What opportunities are there just across the border, in Belgium?

Is the production climate better over there and what can we learn from this?

What opportunities are there for Belgian / Dutch coproductions? We will discuss these matters and more with VAF (Flanders Image) and Dorien van de Pas of Filmfonds (the Netherlands Film Fund).

Two international co-productions will be discussed. Vanya Rainova from the Bulgarian production company Portocal will talk about the co-production Pride.

Pride is featured in our European Competition (p. 38) and is a co-production between Germany and Hungary. She will talk about the collaboration and all the things that come to mind when making a co-production. What are the steps you need to take? What are the pros and cons in co-producing?

GOSHORT

Network lunch 13:00–14:00 / Pavilion

Seminar: Crowdfunding Review 14:00–15:00 / LUX 7 / Dutch spoken

After the morning program, a tasty lunch will be served. You’ll have the opportunity to meet and talk with other guests.

It has been a few years since crowdfunding was introduced as a way to finance short films. Now it’s time to evaluate.

Has it been successful? What works, what doesn’t? How should you use it? Could it have uses as a marketing tool instead of a financing model? The goal of this seminar is to have a critical evaluation with filmmakers who have experience with crowd funding.

PARALLEL SESSIONS 14:00–16:15 / seminars: LUX 7 / workshops: Ziekerstraat 81 In the afternoon you can choose to participate in two workshops or seminars.

18

GOSHORT

GO SHORT STUDENT CAMPUS Since the very first edition of the festival, the Go Short Student Campus has been a meeting point for filmmakers who are about to make the big leap from the academy to the professional field. The Go Short Student Campus brings emerging filmmakers and seasoned film professionals together and offers 19 young filmmakers from all over Europe a unique and intensive program.

In this year’s Campus we focus on giving young filmmakers hands-on knowledge about everything that becomes important as soon as they leave the film academy.

We will offer master classes, lectures, workshops and panel discussions by the industry’s top experts. Belgian filmmaker Gilles Coulier, our special guest Paul Wright, and our Artists in Residence Hannes Vartiainen and Pekka Veikkolainen, among others, will contribute to the Campus program. The participants receive assignments and challenges throughout the week, prompting them to mingle and expand their network with other festival guests. You might very well be part of their learning experience!

During this week the film students will prepare for the next step in their careers.

On the trip back home suitcases will be filled with new experiences and address books with new contacts. They will have a practical starter kit at their disposal with tools of the trade.

CAMPUS PARTICIPANTS Wed 9/4 / 10:00–12:00 / LUX 3 / closed setting Every student presents a film or film plan at the beginning of the Campus and is then challenged to finance, promote, produce or distribute this film. All these films are available in the library.

EMMA CURVERS Thu 10/4 / 18:00 / LUX 4

Oliver Davies (NHTV – my Academy for Digital Entertainment) presents the Oculus Rift.

He will explore the role the Oculus plays in the gaming world, and the possibilities it offers in scientific areas.

What could the Oculus offer the world of cinema? The first experiments are taking place as we speak.

Emma Curvers, chief editor of Cineville, explores the cinematic possibilities of GIF images.

They used to be known as “those annoying animated pictures on MySpace”, now it’s an internet phenomenon with countless narrative possibilities. Despite the limitations, a great number of stories, subcultures and private worlds have emerged from this intermediate form of graphic and cinematic images.

Outside the Pavilion you can try out the cinematic use of the Oculus Rift in a pilot version, created by the NHTV Creative Lab. 22

Although they are used mainly in a humorous way, the possibilities for GIF images as a cinematic art form shouldn’t be underestimated.

MARTINA CARLSTEDT (SE)

ARNO COENEN (NL)

EMMA DE SWAEF (BE)

Martina (1985) graduated from Stockholm Academy of Dramatic Arts with a degree in documentary filmmaking in 2013 and has a background in psychology. She has directed several short documentary films that explore relations-based themes, often relating to alienation and community. Her film Claes won the award for best documentary at Go Short 2011.

Her latest film The Love Agency, about a small dating agency in the north west of Russia, won the Tempo Short Award for the best short documentary in Sweden 2013. Her new film Micke & Tommy has been selected for the Breaking Shorts competition.

A meeting of extremes is what Arno (1972) aims to achieve with his media art. His images reveal refreshing similarities between things that are generally represented as separate and incompatible in contemporary media. Arno is fascinated with the rise of cultures coming from abroad, as well as developments in subcultures, youth culture and pop culture. His special interest lies with more explosive sub-cultural phenomena, such as hooliganism, heavy metal and martial arts culture.

Emma (1985) studied documentary filmmaking at the Sint-Lukas academy in Brussels. She decided to put her knitting and craft skills to use in her graduation film, Soft Plants. The short introduces the character of chubby office-worker Willy, who returned in the short Oh Willy‌ which was selected for Go Short last year.

Oh Willy... was one of the most successful shorts of the year, receiving more than eighty awards and special mentions, including the Cartoon d’Or. She also works as a modelmaker on films and commercials. Our Belgian visitors may remember her sugar man, a little man made out of sugar cubes for a Belgian sugarcommercial. She is currently developing a new short film, another collaboration with filmmaker Marc James Roels.

SVEN SCHWARZ (GE)

ANNA FRANCES EWERT (GE)

Since 2011 Sven (1977) has been the managing director of the Hamburg International Short Film Festival, which is a festival rooted in an environment of independent film makers. One of the primary concerns of the festival is to emphasise the independence of short films as an art form and to create a special environment for them. Furthermore, it wishes to promote and popularize the short film medium as a means of expression. Sven is also a member of the Hamburg-based artist group A Wall is a Screen, which transforms city walls into cinema screens.

Born in 1986 in the south of Germany, Anna gathered her first filmmaking experience through various workshops and internships with production companies in Berlin, London and Dublin. From 2007 – 2010 the German-Irish filmmaker studied at the Edinburgh College of Art where she made several shorts and discovered her passion for documentary filmmaking. In 2010 she took part in the Berlinale Talent Campus and since 2011, she is a student of documentary film at the University of TV and Film in Munich.

“I really like films, because I always feel like I am one of the persons in them. I always get the feeling that I need to shout to the character what to do. I will pay attention to the story line and from which perspective it’s told. I will also pay attention to whether or not the film moves me.”

“I like films a lot because you can imagine where it happens. You can go to a scary, beautiful, dark or light place.

It’s all up to you, and you can choose which character you want to be. With short films the makers are going to try to let your imagination work fast, so that’s where I will be paying attention to.”

“I love to watch almost every film and have an opinion on every single one of them. A film needs to have an original touch and a core that is clear and strong.

If I keep thinking about the story, it’s a film that deserves an award. I will also pay attention to the perspectives that are used and the idea behind the film.”

“Next year I will graduate on photography and film at my high school.

I applied for Go Short’s Youth Jury because I like to make films, and I like to watch them as well. My focus as a jury member will be on originality, camerawork and the story line.”

“I am an opinionated person. I enjoy films with action and comedy, and I like to give my opinion about them.

As a jury member I’ll be watching whether the film is entertaining.

Does it have a sense of humor, and does it excite me?”

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

NTR 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 sixth anniversary for NTR and Go Short, as they have been our partner from the very first edition.

The winners of each category receive a € 1.000 prize.

VEVAM All films in the Dutch competition are eligible to receive the VEVAM Go Short Award for Best Dutch Short. It’s the second year VEVAM, the Dutch copyright society for film and television directors, joins us in handing out this award. A segment of the income of VEVAM goes 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.

DIORAPHTE FOUNDATION Together with the Dioraphte Foundation, Go Short hands out an encouragement award for the Best Student Film in the Breaking Shorts Student Competition. This € 5.000 prize serves as an encouragement to a young artist at the start of a promising career in filmmaking. The Dioraphte Foundation promotes national and international projects of quality that make culture available to a broad audience.

YOUTH AWARD The youngest jury of Go Short is now in its third year. Once again we have asked five youngsters with a sharp eye for quality in short film to team up in the Youth Jury. These youngsters, all aged between 13 and 15 years, provide a fresh view on a selection of films from the competition programs. They will decide who is going to receive the Go Short Youth Award.

GO SHORT AUDIENCE AWARD Where would Go Short be without its audience? The Go Short Audience Award is handed out based on the greatest wisdom of all: the wisdom of the crowd. All shorts in competition are eligible for this award.

EUROPEAN COMPETITION

Once again, we have brought the finest of short films from across Europe to Nijmegen. Short fiction films and animations, documentaries and art films: they are all equally represented in the competition programs and screened alongside each other. The selection of 60 includes films from 21 European countries.

Felix Massie is another regular at Go Short. He was a competitor in 2010, a jury member in 2011, and the designer of our tote bag in 2012. This year the bag is designed by Pierre-Emmanuel Lyet, who was an award winner in 2011, a jury member in 2012, and is now represented with his new film Angélique’s Day for Night.

It’s good to see so many new names and to have the chance to discover talented filmmakers working in Europe today.

It’s also a joy to see filmmakers return to the festival, dedicated as they are to the short film format. We’re happy that they are still going short!

We’re also happy to see Karsten Krause again. He came in second in the Cinepoem competition of Go Short 2011, where he met the winner Paul Bogaert.

A poem by Bogaert inspired Krause to make the film included in this year’s selection: I AM HERE. Also returning are Lotta Sweetliv, Zbigniew Czapla, and Nicolas Provost.

Hannes Vartiainen and Pekka Veikkolainen have been selected for three years in a row. They are also present as our Artists in Residence (p. 100).

While viewing the submitted films we were struck by the fact that many of

them dealt with the economic crisis.

As a result we added a special program with films exploring this theme, Europe in Crisis (p. 103).

We would like to thank our selection committee for their efforts in selecting a strong program. This year’s shorts were selected by Go Short’s director Kirsten Ruber, head of the program department Wouter Jansen, Floor Adams (independent animator), Tom de Bont (Heerenstraat Theater Wageningen), Manon Bovenkerk (ZAAL5, Filmhuis Den Haag), Erik van Drunen (LUCA Brussel), Bart Jansen (Beeldbuis Festival), Marlijn Klerk (NPO Doc), Tanja Koning (Discovery Festival, Amsterdam), Wiepko Oosterhuis (Age of Wonder), Constant van Panhuys (documentary producer, Hazazah) and Dirk van der Straaten (De Balie, Amsterdam).

An unsettling but important film about when a system becomes more important than a person’s life. Seven minutes without dialogue. The most unsettling aspect of the film is that it could be absolutely true.

It´s summer at the Flathead Reservation in Montana. Eight year old Sage spends sunny days playing with friends, swimming and fishing in the river. But one day his parents surprise him with some breaking news; they´re moving to Northern Norway! Starting school in Tromsø, Sage is different.

When an 80–year–old father is declared terminally ill, he asks his son to make a journey together. He wants to see the Mont Blanc for the last time. Soon it becomes clear that the relationship between father and son isn’t ideal. They don’t understand each other. But with the end of his life in sight, the differences get even more obvious.

In this Kafkaesque parable, a bored, devoted housewife thinks her new grown rabbit ears are the sure end of her marriage. They’re anything but!

Day by day a woman nurses her bedridden military father. The dictatorship has come to an end in Argentina, but not in this woman’s life.

The film tells the story of Kiran, who lives with his mother in a yurt in the Pyrenees. Kiran is eight years old and know how to plant salad, which meadow–plants taste good and which you should not eat. But he has no idea what’s going on in the evening on TV and can not deal with the computer.

His greatest wish is to go to a public school to learn to read and write at last. ..

I take my wishes for reality, for I believe my wishes to be real. All the World’s a Stage visually explores the meaning of the image in a world of constant retinal input. It questions and propagates the creation of today’s apparent or staged realities within mass media and politics. It reveals mythical truths and unveils true illusions by deconstructing and reconstructing realities that we often take as given.

Close your eyes and you’ll see.

Summer is here and with it comes sun, sea and Sandy: a new amimated short film written and directed by Joseph Mann. Playful, bright and slightly NSFW. Sandy’s seaside world was brought to life entirely through the world of animation.

Mikaela changed sex from male to female. One night out she meets a guy who follows her home.

The movie Undress Me examines our perceptions of gender and how our identity can be formed by the perceptions of others.

A black comedy exploring some of life’s common fears: fear of the unknown, of failure, rejection and finally the fear of death. Narrated by George Takei.

Chikara – the Sumo Wrestler’s Son follows the 10-year-old Japanese boy, Chikara, and his struggle to become a Sumo wrestler. His father was a professional Sumo wrestler, so expectations surrounding Chikara are extremely high. Today his father owns a noodle–shop where he works a lot. Their only time together is when they train Sumo wrestling.

A portrait of a season – a journey through North Russia and Siberia, through the feelings and thoughts of the people who have to cope with one of the world’s harshest climates; a reality where the boundary between life and death is so thin that it’s sometimes almost nonexistent, where civilization constantly both fights and embraces nature and its timeless rules and rites.

Eight portraits, eight dreams, eight escapes.

An evocative film about the eternal human search for home.

The life of a person can be as easy and straightforward as his recipe for sponge cake.

In a poetic-action-dance-journey, for children and curious souls, the 5-year-old Melanie lives in the countryside of Uganda. Full of life and living-toys she finds herself pushed out of daydreams and discovers death. But her toys and not least her vivid imagination helps and life goes on.

In English, “trespass” means to intrude, but it could also be an unauthorized entry, or in legal jargon, a “domestic disturbance.” Trespass, Paul Wenninger’s ten-minute real-animation film plays with all of these meanings in a technically impressive, varied, and precise tour de force.

Hätäkutsu

Catania, Sicily. In the heart of the working class neighbourhood lies a vast and lawless territory where makeshift stables can be found. One of them is owned by Concetto – aka “il farmacista” – a man respected and even feared by many, who built a reputation for himself in the small world of clandestine horse racing.

What is your emergency? The question that’s at the start of every call to an emergency centre is also at the start of this film. Excited, sometimes desperate people on the soundtrack. The emergencies: precipitate labour, a multiple car crash. But also a killing spree and the last radio message of the “Estonia”. The call marks the boundary between life and death which – perhaps – will be crossed.

An improbable hero embarks on a crude journey by land, sea, and air –throughout all the attractions of a planet turned into a massive petrochemical park... and beyond.

Brainless Rabbits live in Rabittland, a perfect world ordered according to the most successful examples of war zones, ghettos and slums. They are intensively pink, have holes in their heads instead of brains, and they are happy regardless of what happens to them.

Somebody broke the girl’s parents. The rabbit was there when it happened. It was an awful mess.

A story of a sensible boy, raised by a lonely and hard working mother, somewhere in a far province where life revolves around daily, inveterate habits.

The little protagonist is being deceitfully seduced by a shady “master” and cynical collector of keys.

In consequence of the mystery and rather incomprehensible events, the world of his unconcerned childhood falls apart.

A child’s daydream during a school lesson is abruptly interrupted by the teacher. The “instructor” threatens to cut off an ear to his young student to “stimulate” the concentration and prevent further escapes into the realm of imagination .

Yesterday Salam Khamas, at the age of 93, married Mrs. Um Ahmed, at the tender age of 105, in the town of Basra, Iraq. It was sunny outside. The newly weds were both found dead in their honeymoon bed this morning. Mrs. Um Ahmed was still wearing her wedding dress.

Last part of the Plot Point Trilogy by Nicolas Provost with the Japanese capital Tokyo and its inhabitants as the leads. Provost focuses on everyday scenes, from a couple arguing to lost drunks in the hyperkinetic city at night. There is the suggestion of a murder, probably planned by the Yakuza.

A World Assembled represents Toby Tatum’s creation of an improbable realm, stitched together from a kit of warring elements into a fantastic whole.

Animals possessed by humanity are alienated from their natural form. Behavioural patterns of once archaic animal species forced their way into predictable forms via human strains, taming the wild, isolating the animals. Animal and humans draw ever closer, sharing a common nature. But appearances are deceiving.

A young photographer and his assistant suggest to Tibetan nomads to take their picture. Against diverse and more or less exotic backgrounds, families appear to the photographer. Through these shots, the photographer will weave unique links with each of the various villagers.

DUTCH COMPETITION Once again we have brought together the best the Netherlands has to offer in the field of short film! Every year we make new discoveries, and there are many fresh young faces in this selection. Some are very familiar, though. Documentary filmmaker Astrid Bussink was in our selection committee for many years and now that she has left us she immediately returns with her film Wool Fever.

Sam de Jong received a special mention in the student competition last year for Magnesium, and it’s good to see him back here only a year later with his new short Marc Jacobs. The same goes for Klaas Arie Westland and Michiel ten Horn, who were selected for Go Short 2013 and managed to make the cut once again.

We’re on a first name basis with Job, Joris & Marieke, but then, who isn’t? They were special guests at Go Short 2011, where they curated a stop-motion focus program. This time they are featured with their new animated short MUTE.

Franka (17) lives with her father under the smoke of the steelworks. She takes care of her father and the household. When Franka falls in love with windsurfer Kes, she starts to see her relationship with her father in a different light.

Everybody once had thoughts about their own death and what it will cause to our loved ones.

Jorka portrays the aftermath of the process of loss.

After a tragic accident of the protagonist, we see the departed coping with his demise.

Off Ground is a dance film about a boy (Antoine Mason) and his dying mother (Louise Lecavalier).

In the film choreographer Jakop Ahlbom and filmmaker Boudewijn Koole study the transition from one state of consciousness to another. They are questioning the dualistic thinking that the world in their eyes is too simply broken in body and soul, heaven and hell, life and death.

How hard is that limit?

History of Pets is a requiem for all the childhood pets, who found their end in the most curious of circumstances. One by one they get revisited as the main character takes a trip down memory lane.

Sven (18) and Gijs (18) are one another’s best friends.

When the two of them end up in a fight on a night out with a couple of guys in Amsterdam, Gijs gets beaten into a coma. Sven struggles with feelings of guilt and the fear of losing his best friend forever.

When Gijs comes out of his coma, Sven wants nothing more than everything to be the same again as soon as possible. But Gijs has changed.

In the Netherlands, every week a church is closing down. In the same time, a pastor goes by the doors of the highly modern Amsterdam suburb IJburg.

But who will let him in? Suburban God is a visually cunning portrait of a new housing estate, yielding a surprising view of the meaning of faith in the secular city.

After three years of detention for a violent offence, Abdel’s interview with his parole officer determines to what extent he still is a danger to society.

A realistic film with convincing acting, inter-cut with the making-of.

A multitude of animals brought together in a rhythmical sequence of photographs. The images blend together similar to the cross breeding of animals. An accumulation of bygone days, captured in photos, in which the animals are replaceable, but the same employees frequently reappear.

In I Love Hooligans we enter the world of a homosexual football hooligan. Football is what he lives for, and his sexual orientation and love life have been relegated to the margin. It is a well-kept secret.

A woman works in a gas station, alone, at night.

People she doesn’t know step into her world and out again, leaving her in her own little bubble. Until one night, a special kind of stranger walks in and turns her world upside down.

The level of media saturation we’re bombarded with creates an absurd distortion and distance between our daily routine and current affairs.

Démontable explores this bizarre melange of realities by throwing the two worlds together: attack helicopters shred a newspaper, while a dinner plate suffers a drone strike. They’re a series of attempts to try and understand our world better by playing with its violent protagonists.

In a world populated by people without a mouth, a gory accident leads to the discovery a mouth can be created by cutting yourself. This unleashes an enthusiastic chain reaction among the population!

YOUTH COMPETITION We are proud to present a young counterpart to our international juries: a group of five enthusiastic adolescents who are opinionated and love to watch films. They will critically judge ten European shorts. They provide a fresh outlook on the program by judging the films by their own standards and expectations. They will open their mind to new experiences, and be attentive to what triggers their imaginations.

The challenge will be to choose a winner from ten preselected films, which represent the wide variety of films screened at Go Short. Films like Even Cowboys Get to Cry, Days of Steel or Moritz and the Woodwose, feature young adults as the main protagonists. Eating Lunch deals with young girls that struggle with anorexia. Will this make it easier for our jury members to identify with the characters?

GOSHORT

Beside fiction films, the selection also includes films our young jury might be less familiar with, like the art films Off Ground and Spherulite, and the animation films Jorka, History of Pets and The Missing Scarf. The documentary Chikara - the Sumo Wrestler’s Son completes the youth selection. This wide variety of films in both genre and country of origin will present a challenge to the jury’s assignment of coming to a joint decision. We look forward to hear how this young jury experiences and judges the shorts in this selection.

BREAKING SHORTS

STUDENT COMPETITION You could look upon films in a student competition as a window into future trends. This year is no different.

Selected from over 600 entries, the 20 films shown are some of the best student works made in the past year.

Though eclectic in subject matter and from a wide range of European film schools, there is still a lot of common ground between these films. Core themes are still the ones for the ages: love, death, family and friendship.

Bonds between childhood friends, fathers and sons, and mothers and daughters give films such as Left and Days of Saturn an impressive maturity.

64

GOSHORT

Tackling these subjects can be a difficult task, but Elephant and The Swing of the Coffin Maker show that it can be done with humor and style.

These students aren’t afraid to cross borders, be it literally as in Two at the Border, or be it figuratively in terms of genre-hopping, as in Z1.

What all these films have in common is that they deserve to be seen more than once. Even though they differ in subject matter and approach, the films all have an underlying humanity, which is all you could ask for in a new generation of filmmakers. At the risk of hyperbole, the world is safe within their hands.

The Breaking Shorts Student Competition is selected in co-operation with Breaking Ground, a young and dynamic platform for European film students. Breaking Ground is always on the lookout for talented film students and opportunities to showcase their films. Do you want to submit your film, or do you have a screening opportunity, get in touch through www.breakingground.eu!

In the 1980s and 90s, the Turkish army destroyed 10.000 Kurdish villages to break Kurdish resistance.

He married a new wife and had four more children. His first family decided to stay in Istanbul. Although Habib has built a new life for himself in his beloved village, nothing can make up for the absence of his children.

Two young men, one Syrian the other Palestinian, smuggle refugees to European ground. While the Turkish border is still porous, Greece barricades its borders with European support. Thermographic cameras, fences, coastguard ships. The guys pack, they move, sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t. The rent was due last week.

Anthropoid creatures with plugs in place of heads are up to mischief. Instead of abandoning oneself to the dictates of the raised finger, they soon submit to themselves. But the fingers also finger around.

Is it love?

Director: Ross Butter animation / United Kingdom / 2013 / 4’

A young man in search of a seed emerges from the underground where he spends time with his friends. In their company he begins a long digestive journey.

Nine year–old Thomas spends most of his days at the flea market closely observing the wheelings and dealings of the market’s sellers. His desire to be one of them leads him to embark on a one-night adventure that overwhelms him. From a kid’s eye level, this is a decisive life moment, a rite of passage, a journey into the world of adults… Towards new realities, far removed from those of a child.

I Love You So Hard is an animated film about romance, violence and bodily fluids, entirely handdrawn with paper, pens and coloured crayons, made up of well over a thousand A4 pages. The shorts centre around a slightly unhinged and obsessive lothario who attempts to seduce his unfortunate love interest by detailing his bizarre and terrifying fantasies of how far he’d go in order to prove his feelings for her.

PAUL WRIGHT FILMMAKER IN FOCUS Since his debut feature film For Those in Peril saw its world premiere as part of the Critic’s Week at Cannes, the name of young Scotsman Paul Wright has been buzzing. In the short film world his talent was spotted early on. His films have been screened at three editions of Go Short, and this year he is our filmmaker in focus. Paul Wright will present his own short films, his feature debut, and some of his favorite short films.

Paul Wright was born in Scotland. His short film Hikikomori received a Scottish Bafta, and that was even before he was offered a place in the Master’s program for directing at the National Film and Television School. We were introduced to his work at the second edition of Go Short, when Believe received a nomination for best short fiction film in our European competition. It has proven to be one of the shorts that stayed in our hearts and minds, so we screened it again at our 5-year retrospective last year. Until the River Runs Red was shown in our student competition Breaking Shorts in 2011, and with this short he won the British Bafta.

The jury of Go Short called Believe “an uneasy film about the difficult subject of loss; daring and touching at the same time”, and this characterisation could just as well be used for his other shorts and his feature debut. In addition to his short films we will also screen For Those in Peril, which won him two more Scottish Baftas. Like in his short films, this film is centered around people who have to go all the way up to the edge and then

go over it. Wright takes us to the lowest point in their existence. There is a way up, you can feel it, though Wright doesn’t show it. There’s a strength that comes from within the characters.

Hikikomori is the story of a boy who takes sanctuary in his bedroom, then refuses to leave. It’s about an outsider living an alternative existence.

The story of one man’s grief following the death of his wife. The film captures a desperate journey, played out against beautifully isolated highland landscapes.

Forced to look after his disabled mother, Aaron has grown up cut off from the outside world. Together yet apart they live a fragile life of isolation, haunted by the memories that threaten to engulf them.

Director: Simon Ellis fiction / United Kingdom / 2007 / 14’

Pro skater and painter Ed Templeton is profiled in this short experimental documentary from music video director and graphic artist Mike Mills. In its 17–minute running time, the film offers a distinctly fractured glimpse into Templeton’s home life with his girlfriend and his artistic endeavors, as well as his reflections on growing up in Huntington Beach, CA, a place he continues to call home. Templeton’s scenes are intercut with brief profiles of Huntington Beach teens and copious skate footage.

It’s the Christmas season. With her mom’s help, Lynne, a girl of perhaps eight, dresses up; her younger brother Steven plays with a toy car. The children leave with their dad, who’s affectionate with them. They walk down a railroad track where an unkempt woman waits with two children, about the same age as Lynne and Steven. The children go with them. They’re all headed to a holiday party at a pub. Lynne notices that the girl acts all too familiar with her dad. What’s going on?

A father rediscovers his fear of confrontation at the worst possible time.

We Have Decided not to Die

The Girl Chewing Gum

Director: Daniel Askill art film / Australia / 2004 / 11’

Director: John Smith art film / United Kingdom / 1976 / 12’

We Have Decided Not To Die is an unusual short film. A modern day allegorical triptych, three figures under go transformation through three rituals.

Though not a story in any conventional sense, We Have Decided Not To Die succeeds in taking audience on an emotional journey.

Aurally intriguing, often stunning and always beautiful, Daniel’s short film has been winning fans from around the festival circuit.

Who has not – particularly as a child – dreamed now and then of playing God, of sitting for a while in the Great Director’s chair in the sky? The maker of this film plays with this desire using a rolereversal trick. Filmmaker John Smith constantly gives directions over images produced by a static camera: “Now I want the man on the left to cross the street,” etc., giving the impression that the seemingly random London street scenes have been deliberately created.

Production: Daniel Askill, Christopher Seeto / Script, Editing: Daniel Askill / Photography: Denson Baker / Music: Michael Askill / Sound: Daniel Askill, Sam Dixon / Cast: Kasia Werstak, Daniel Askill, Jordan Askill / Website: WeHaveDecidedNotToDie.com Filmography: Wim – See You Hurry (2011), We Have Decided Not to Die (2004)

Outer Space

Director: Peter Tscherkassky art film / Austria / 2011 / 11’ A premonition of a horror film, lurking danger: A house – at night, slightly tilted in the camera’s view, eerily lit – surfaces from the pitch black, then sinks back into it again. A young woman begins to move slowly towards the building. She enters it.

The film cuts crackle, the sound track grates, suppressed, smothered. Found footage from Hollywood forms the basis for the film. The figure who creeps through the images, who is thrown around by them and who attacks them is Barbara Hershey.

By subjecting fragments from the film Rashomon

by Akira Kurosawa to the mirror effect, Provost creates a hallucinating scene of a woman‘s reverse chrysalis into an imploding butterfly. Papillon d’Amour produces skewed reflections upon love, its lyrical monstrosities and wounded act of dissappearance.

A humourous and thought provoking view of what animals in zoos might be thinking about their captivity and surroundings.

A balloon wraps itself around a young child’s hand, bringing him higher and higher, much to the child’s delight... but...

FOOD & FILM The food industry faces enormous challenges when it comes to creating a sustainable food supply for the world.

We want good food. We want affordable food. We want to eat healthy, and at the same time we don’t want to consume the planet. What choices do we make when we shop and when we cook? Where does good food come from, and where does it go? Questions that occupy our minds, and those of filmmakers as well. With lots of new sustainable restaurants, microbreweries, craft markets and businesses, there’s a food culture heyday. This year Go Short is a feast for foodies and film lovers.

FOOD TALKS

FOUR VIEWS ON THE FUTURE OF FOOD

Everyone loves food! When we’re not eating it, we sure love to talk about it. So let’s speculate a little on the future of our food. We invite four inspiring food experts to explore the menu of tomorrow. They will present innovative views from different perspectives that make your mind race and your mouth water.

CULTURED MEAT Cor van der Weele is a bioethicist and philosopher within the Department of Applied Philosophy at Wageningen University. She works at the intersection of biology and philosophy, with special

research interests in metaphor and selective attention, genetics, genomics and cultured meat. She will guide you through the new developments within cultured meat, and what these mean for the future.

EATING INSECTS Food designer Daisy Stauder started her Bugbon company with a big challenge: how can we feed the world in the future? Eating insects, she suggests, could be the answer to a lot of big issues. She invites us to try the taste of insects. Why and how should we go about eating them?

SLOW FOOD Guus Thijssen, a board member of Slow Food, will talk about the ideals of the Slow Food movement. How do you implement these ideals and how are they rooted within a broader perspective of changes within the food chain? He will show you some examples of the creativity of small producers.

PIGS HOME

After a year they will be slaughtered and prepared to be consumed by the same people that have taken care of them for the last year.

How does this affect a local community, and what can we learn about our relationship with our daily meal?

FOOD TALKS Thu 10/4 – 20:30 – LUX 4 This program will be Dutch spoken only.

Rianne Andeweg from the Rotterdamse Oogst will talk about Pigs Home (Varkenshuis), which houses two pigs for a year. They live on the leftovers from the neighbourhood.

Can you eat meat and really care about the animals on your dinner plate? Documentarian and meateater, Madeleine Parry wants to find out. So she enlists to become an abattoir meat-worker, and works her way up the production line toward the ‘killbox’. With unparalleled access to a slaughterhouse, she explores the experiences of the animals we eat and the men who kill them.

Somewhere off the beaten track, far away from big cities, a man puts up his stand selling watermelons.

Those few local drivers who pass it, remain unimpressed. Only tourists stop to take a photo of this peculiar attraction. This kind of a business cannot be profitable. To make things worse, a competing enterprise emerges on the other side of the metalled road. The film shows one day in the life of a watermelon seller.

Flatten is a beautiful experimental video by Dutch artists Hugo de Kok and Kay van Vree that explores the forms and shapes of flattened food. The images were created by compositing different parts of the video, giving each one separate time spans so they could be edited with music .

Production, Photography, Editing: Hugo de Kok, Kay van Vree / Music: Ivo van Dijk, Sophie Ansems / School: Utrecht School of the Arts

Economy is stranger than fiction. Visitors from a distant place appear in the misty swamps of Northern Finland. As harmless as they are, their foreign presence unwittingly disrupts the pace of local habits. They have come to look for berries, an activity that all of a sudden seems to embody all the values of local culture. Who is to blame and where do the profits end up? How to Pick Berries is an exploration of Finnish mind and the absurdities of global economy.

Luis (72) is the owner of a little grocery store that suffers a sudden downturn when a supermarket sets up in its neighborhood and he is told that he’ll no longer be provided with bread. The man faces a crossroads: closing the store, or finding another bread supplier to keep his business open.

On the coast of northern Peru, an exotic branch of agriculture has sprung up: asparagus farming.

Glacier water is diverted from mountain streams to the parched desert soil of Trujillo so that the asparagus can grow. Peruvians aren’t fond of asparagus and the harvest is almost completely exported to richer countries in the North. In this documentary we follow the production cycle at a local level and are given a look into the lives of the farmers and factory workers that are trying to survive on 2 to 5 US Dollars a day.

A poetic short film about a biology teacher who knows death is an apparent part of life. Until his mother passes away and his father – stricken with grief – faces him with a choice. Will he assist his father?

A stop-motion animated film about farming commissioned by Chipotle Mexican Grill. It shows the life of a farmer as he slowly turns his family farm into an industrial animal factory, before seeing the errors of his ways and opting for a more sustainable future.

Werner Herzog Eats his Shoe

Director: Béla Tarr fiction / Hungary / 2004 / 5’

Director: Les Blank documentary / USA / 1979 / 20’

Director: Vittorio De Seta documentary / Italy / 1958 / 11’

A 5 minute dolly shot of people waiting in line for food filmed in beautiful black in white accompanied by music by Mihály Vig. This short was Béla Tarr’s contribution to the Visions of Europe project.

In 1979, Les Blank took a detour to film German filmmaker Werner Herzog honoring a vow he made to Errol Morris that he (Herzog) would eat his shoe if Morris ever actually made one of the films he was forever talking about. Stung to action, Morris directed Gates of Heaven, a highly acclaimed film about a pet cemetery; Herzog, true to his word, returned to Berkeley to consume one of his desert boots at the UC Theater. Blanks film documents Herzog’s strongly expressed belief that people must have “the guts to attempt what they dream of”.

Fishing Boats sheds light on the fisheries between Sicily and Africa. De Seta shows how the fishermen put out to sea in all weathers to scrape a living. If a storm breaks, the fishing boats seek refuge on the island of Lampedusa. The sober but effective use of the surrounding sounds drowns the fishermen’s voices and gives the film an extra dramatic dimension.

INDULGE IN THE VISUAL FEAST OF FOOD FILMS! Crushed food, in completely abstracted form, is the subject of Futures. Innuendos, artifacts and the rough synchronisation all add subtle emotions to the uncertain process that builds a morbid tableaux, accompanied by the beautiful music of José González.

Facing Animals by Jan van IJken is a documentary film about the complex and often bizarre relationship between man and animal. The stunning and often confronting visuals take the viewer on a roller coaster of emotions. It becomes clear how complex and often bizarre the relationship between man and animal is.

The food porn of Momoko Seto is something else! In Octupus Love Affair an octopus and a red fish get intimate.

An oyster and mussel share a moment of intense love in Jennifer and Tiffany. The title of Prawns Orgy is self-explanatory.

Warning: these films can evoke erotic sensations!

Good Stuff is a food animation that was completely collected from waste bins.

From February till April they lived and worked in the Besiendershuis, a historic building situated on the quay of the Waal River.

The Besiendershuis annually asks four organisations from Nijmegen to be a host for the Artist in Residence project ‘Straight Flow’. In this period the Artist in Residence works closely with the host organisation and other people and artists from Nijmegen.

Hannes Vartiainen (1980) started off working as a filmmaker and Pekka Veikkolainen (1982) as an animator and illustrator. In 2008 they combined their talents to work together on new and exciting ways of filmmaking.

The duo combines various digital techniques with, among others, stop-motion and x-ray scans. Their short films and documentaries have a unique style and feel that manages to be experimental and accessible at the same time. They take the audience on an adventurous audiovisual trip.

Their films The Death of an Insect (2010) and Gates of Life (2012) were

selected for the European Competition of the last two editions of Go Short.

Quite uniquely, they were selected for a third consecutive year, with their new short Emergency Calls (2013).

GO AHEAD A first glimp at tomorrow’s talented filmmakers.

Go Ahead is a brand new program featuring the work of Dutch film students in the first, second and third years of Dutch academies and film schools.

Many short films are made here and then soon forgotten, as new projects take up the students’ time and screening opportunities are scarce. Now Go Short offers these students the opportunity to show their films at an international short film festival, even before they have made their graduation film. The film students will present their work, and a panel of professionals will reflect on it and give them useful tips for their future productions.

110 GOSHORT

We have selected five films that represent the budding talent the Netherlands has to offer. The films are from students at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy, the Maastricht Academy of Fine Arts and Design, the School of the Arts Utrecht (HKU), and the Netherlands Film Academy (AHK). Different genres like animation, documentary and fiction are all represented. We have

spotted different talents in cinematography, writing and scripting a story, and giving directions to actors. Although they’re young, they have already developed a unique and personal style. Be the first to scout the talents of tomorrow!

Kids today‌ Before you know it they are little filmmakers! With mobile phones, cheap handheld cameras, editing software and apps, all the necessary tools are as easily accessible as a box of crayons nowadays. At the Go Shorty Playground we love to stimulate the creativity of kids. We offer workshops for children of all ages, where they work with stop motion, flipbooks or documentary filming.

Go Short offers film education for primary and secondary schools throughout the year. In cooperation with Grote Broer Kunsteducatie, Go Short organises Go Docu and Go Lipdub: projects that take place in class rooms and at the local art house.

Primary schools visit us in the early morning of the festival days for special school screenings, complete with hand-outs and meet-and-greets with filmmakers or actors. Go Short organises film screenings for secondary schools in cooperation with Bureau 20. We will screen short films about social themes and then discuss these themes with the kids and an expert.

GO EXPO IN THE LOOP ARTEZ INTERACTION DESIGN GIF images, Vines, Supercuts, samples and instant replays: the loop has not only become a dominant media form, but also a new way to perceive information. Film is light moving in time. Why do films have a certain specific length? Students of Interaction Design at ArtEZ Arnhem have researched the phenomenon of time by looking at GIF images and Vines, looking for ways to visualise the passing of time in film. More than a hundred GIF images and vine clips are made into a visual collage.

Onze snelheid is niet te filmen.

Laten we het scenario eens doornemen.

Import of export, groot of klein, urgent of misschien iets minder...u bepaalt het script.

Zodra u actie roept, vliegen wij voor u - terwijl u onze prestaties van begin tot eind op uw monitor volgt.

U houdt de regie. En we gaan pas weer backstage als alles op uw ‘cue’ is afgeleverd.

Vertrouw op FedEx voor award winnende prestaties.

Op locatie in meer dan 220 landen en gebieden wereldwijd.

Bel ons op 0800 0222 333 en laat ons auditie doen voor de rol.
