Sundance Film Festival Shorts
The iconic event is making the journey from Utah to ACMI.
Overview
Reservoir Dogs. Donnie Darko. The Blair Witch Project. Get Out. Some of the most influential movies of the past few decades have had their world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. Now, the iconic event is making the journey from Utah to Melbourne with a carefully curated program of shorts at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image.
Screening just three times at ACMI from July 8 through July 16, this stellar program consists of seven short films that each played at the Utah festival back in January. Standouts include Night Shift, the story of a Los Angeles bathroom attendant played by TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe; 5 Films About Technology, a satirical anthology shot in an insta-inspired 1:1 frame; and Come Swim, which marks the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart. The films offer a nice mix of comedic, reflective and more avant-garde projects that showcase up-and-coming independent filmmakers and give the audience a taste of what Sundance is all about.
