Experience ten of the finest short films in the world.
Overview
Film-lovers, round up your friends; the fifteenth annual Manhattan Short Film Festival returns to the Astor in St Kilda, this October 3rd.
Audiences here in Melbourne are invited to view and judge the ten international finalist films being shown, the results of which will be tallied along with the votes from other performances all around the world.
Dutch offering A Curious Conjunction Of Coincidences, directed by Joost Reijimers, sees bad luck connect three men even though they all live in completely different centuries. Henrik M Dahlsbrakhan’s Norwegian short The Devil’s Ballroom takes viewers on a perilous arctic journey to the North Pole, as polar explorer makes a critical, life-changing decision. Inspired by the actions of his favourite comic book heroes, a young boy tries to save the day in director Tudor Giurgiu’s Romanian piece.
Seven other finalist films from countries like the USA, Peru, Ireland and Russia will be shown too.
