Why do we love short films?
Cinema is the seventh and the last kind of art and has begun with short films. Formerly people told themselves stories. Since 2500 years they are shown us - in the theater, paintings & sculpting, music, dancing, literature, architecture and in cinema. They are everywhere and for everyone in the atmosphere – as it were we have inhaled them.
Short films give us the possibility to recognize all kinds of the structures that we met. Every filmmaker has got his own aura, his own way to show us what is need to shown. So let’s enjoy that at least some of them mirror us. That’s our story and if we were happy, we wouldn’t have one.
