AUDIENCE AND FILMMAKERS
COME TOGETHER
The Future Shorts Festival is the biggest pop up film festival of its kind, showcasing the most exciting short films from around the world. It is a massive screening
network and a powerful global community.
Since its launch in November 2011, the festival currently takes place in
over 90 countries and 300 cities, showcasing a single programme of the best short films often alongside live music, DJs and art. From London to Moscow, Melbourne to Jakarta, the screenings take place across a massive network of music halls, cinemas, theatres, galleries, clubs and warehouses.
Each screening is a voyage of discovery for its audience, exploring new ways for them to interact and exposing them to exciting art forms they might not have otherwise engaged with.
A fundamental element of hosting the festival is to encourage live and online interaction between audiences throughout the world.
“ Revitalising the cinema experience ”

OUR PROGRAMMING
We are committed to finding the widest possible audience for both emerging and established filmmakers. We use the medium of short film
to expose amazing stories from across the globe and to give us a clearer understanding of the world we live in.
Highlights from the first quarterly Future Shorts programme include 2011 Oscar winner God of Love, the 2011 Sundance winner Deeper than Yesterday, BAFTA winner The Eagleman’s Stag, and the amazing Swedish one-take wonder Incident By a Bank, which won the Golden Bear at Berlin.
Future Shorts will curate and license a feature length programme of world
class short film on a quarterly basis and make it available for theatrical
and non-theatrical screening throughout the world.

Summer 2014 Programme
NO JOKE
Dir: MAXIM KELLY
UK - 2013

The music video shows the ultimate cure, in the form of old people dancing. Pop music and humor come together in photographer Maxim Kelly's short film of the KolKata Laughing Society.
BUTTER LAMP

The music video for Bonobo's song, "Cirrus," is a beautifully surreal video collage created by British animator Cyriak. It is certainly weird, using old footage of ordinary life to create complex machines and giant robots.
