Nano Film Festival is an international festival of short feature films up to 30 min open to all types of filmmaking: from productions made in film schools to off-line creativity. The festival creates a space for debut – a short film is the first step on the way to the long feature film. The 1st edition of the festival will be held in Cracow on October 21-23. The artistic director of the event is Robert Gliński, film and theater director.
The aim of the festival is to initiate and promote innovative cultural activities with particular emphasis on the art of film both among the creators and its audience. The festival is an opportunity to present the achievements of young filmmakers, students of film schools and off-beat filmmakers, giving them a chance to present the effects of their work on the big screen, talk to the audience and creatively exchange ideas, thus going beyond the framework of a competition with prizes.
“I once asked my professor, the famous director Wojciech Has, what a short feature film is? And how does it differ from a long one? At the Film School in Łódź, under his tutelage, we made just such short films. Has remained silent for a long time after this question. I thought the master’s answer would dispel my student dilemmas. Finally, he mumbled under his breath: neither fish nor fowl (nor good red herring)… That was a long time ago, before digitization and the Internet. Times have changed. It is quite an art to tell something short and meaningful by means of pictures. Only a few people manage to make a short film that sticks in the viewer’s head and makes you think.”, Artistic director of the Festival, Robert Gliński said.
