Most mainstream cinema appears to worship youth. The films you will see in this festival are an alternative to that cult short films telling stories about men and women living full and long lives.
Short films offer a snapshot of the attitudes and concerns of today s filmmakers.
Not driven by market reality like the creators of feature films, short films are often at the cutting edge. Issues of age and growing older are becoming the creative concerns of many emerging filmmakers. It is an experience that transcends all barriers, cultural, race, class and religion. Old age is universal, it connects us all. Old age should be viewed not as a limitation, but as a reward for a life deeply lived and truly loved.
