Future Shorts One LogoIn case you don’t know, Future Shorts is a worldwide event dedicated to screening good short films on one day in over 90 cities from around the world; the screening is usually accompanied by other multimedia elements including live music and rescores, performers and installations.

In fact, their motto is ONE event. One beat. ONE audience… ONE worldwide. which nicely fits the concept on which the event is built on.

Going back to the event at hand, this was the second global edition for 2011 but the first one here in Romania (as far as I know), and took place in the Artexpo hall in the Bucharest National Theater. The place was a nice choice as it provided enough space for the audience, even though the main room was split in two smaller ones, each with its own screen for better viewing and distribution of seats; the downside though was that the room was somewhat chilly, especially if you came unprepared and hoping for a cozy atmosphere. The audio and video quality were good overall, even though at times (especially during the last film, Goodbye Mr Chu) it was a bit too loud and thus noisy for my taste. More >
