Shorts Programs
A great shorts program is more than a collection of films. It’s about how the films work together, sometimes in unexpected ways. A documentary about human connection might lead into an animated comedy, followed by a drama that looks at the same questions from a completely different angle. As a festival director, I love finding those connections and putting films together that challenge, surprise, or complement one another. The individual films are important, of course, but the experience of watching them together can be something you wouldn’t get from seeing them on their own. That’s the fun of programming shorts: creating an experience that stays with you after the lights come up.
