Develop your style with Go Short

Short film is a beacon of self development in the film industry, but as we all know, talent development doesn’t happen by itself. Therefore, Go Short offers starting out film professionals the opportunity to grow. Just for them, Go Short organizes many different events and meetings.

Take for example the Student Night on Wednesday 15 Februari, the Go Short Talent & Student Route during the Industry Program at April 5 – 9.  Screening, stimulating and meeting each other are key during these events and young makers are given the attention they deserve.

The Industry Program

From 5 April until 9 April, Nijmegen will be the center of a lively international melting pot where the most experienced professionals and starting-out, enthusiastic newcomers can meet each other. Filmmakers and other film professionals can meet each other in an accessible way, share their ideas and learn from experts. We want to facilitate meeting each other and entering into dialogue on a small scale. We organize a dynamic program for professionals: from network events to workshops and from parties to market screenings

This year’s theme is moving forward together: the potential of short films in times of crisis. We cover the obstacles that starting out and established filmmakers face on a daily basis. We delve into the challenges for the short film industry as a whole.

What stories can you tell and what does the truth mean to you for you and your making process? How do we integrate sustainability while circumstances keep changing? What can we do to engage with the audience of the future? Read more about it in the professional program.

Activities from the professionals program that are specifically interesting for students and beginning makers are highlighted using the Go Short Talent & Student Route. You can recognize this Route by    the ones you find at the different sessions of the professionals program. Think for example of the ‘How to workshops’ where you will learn how to get the most out of Go Short and how to get your film screened. Also consider film programs like Go Ahead – where first, second and third-year students screen their films and receive feedback from a feedback panel – and Project Showcase – where films made off the beaten path are screened.
