Overview

Now in its eighth year, Show Me Shorts Film Festival 2013 offers a selection of the best shorts from New Zealand and around the world. After careful deliberation the hundreds of films submitted have been whittled down to just forty.

These shorts are not only going to be critiqued by the public but are also judged by industry experts who select the winners of the nine different awards. What's really exciting about this year in particular is that Show Me Shorts has become Academy Award accredited, meaning whichever film wins Best Film will also be eligible for an Oscar nomination.

The sessions are organised thematically and include groupings such as 'Dad's Decision', 'Laughing at Ourselves', 'My Generation', 'Our Place' and 'Through the Looking Glass'. The acting talent includes plenty of local names as well as top international talent such as Michael Richards (Sienfield's Kramer) in Walk the Light and the voice of Cate Blachett in the award-winning animation A Cautionary Tale.
