6-10 mai / Timisoara
Prima editie a Festivalului International de Scurtmetraj Timishort, organizat de Asociatia Romana a Filmului Independent, se desfasoara la Timisoara. Al treilea oras din Romania dupa numarul de locuitori, un loc minunat si un important centru universitar si cultural, Timisoara are nevoie de un festival in cadrul caruia numerosul ei public tanar sa poata vedea si filme de autor, diferite de oferta obisnuita a multiplexurilor. Programul Festivalului cuprinde o Competitie puternica, alcatuita din 16 scurtmetraje (nu mai lungi de 30 de minute) apartinand tuturor genurilor (fictiune, documentar, animatie sau experimental) si venind din toate colturile lumii, precum si sectiuni paralele (Panorama, Focus, Scoli de Film, Festivaluri Invitate, Proiectii de Gala etc.), ateliere creative si discutii moderate pentru tineri cineasti si cinefili.
Unul dintre cei cinci membri ai Juriului International este Jakub Felcman, critic de film si selectioner din Cehia. A absolvit Universitatea Carol si Scoala de Film si Televiziune FAMU, ambele din Praga, iar acum este director de program al Fresh Film Fest – Karlovy Vary, festival international dedicat filmelor studentesti si lungmetrajelor de debut. Colaboreaza in mod regulat cu trei publicatii: „Cinepur”, „Revolver Revue” si „Film and Time”.
In luna mai, puteti veni la Timisoara nu doar pentru frumoasele sale privelisti, ci si pentru „Cafea si filme. Noua ne plac scurte si tari.”
