Simply Shorts

Overview

Good things come in small packages at Simply Shorts — and, as the name suggests, short ones as well. Both a screening session of bite-sized filmmaking and a networking get-together for those who make and watch them, the event showers the love on cinematic storytelling of the briefer kind.

At their latest evening on July 12, all things science fiction will be zooming across the screen, spanning from monsters to mutants to plenty of other genre staples. Will giant lizard-like creatures amble across the frame? Extra-terrestrials looking for home? Time-travelling teens? You just know that the film selection will include plenty of nods to sci-fi gems gone by, because that's what science fiction typically does — it takes inspiration from the past and present, and blends them into a new vision of the future.

Expect all of that over three hours of filmic wonders, plus drinks and chatter afterwards. Expect music videos and movie trailers too, with all sorts of shorter bits and pieces in the spotlight.
