Uppsala International Short Film Festival
Uppsala
23rd - 29th October
2006
Founded in 1982, the Uppsala International Short Film Festival has
since become Sweden's premier arena for short film, having attained
both national and international recognition. Every year the
festival shows more than 200 short films in five different sections
exploring the diversity and richness of the short film - from new
film to retrospective programmes, from fiction film, documentaries
and experimental film to animations.
Taking place in the university town of Uppsala at four cinemas
located in the city's cinema district, the Uppsala International
Short Film Festival is a meeting place for audiences, industry and
media. The many Swedish and international filmmakers and other
professionals that every year attend are offered an extensive
programme of activities that give an insight into Swedish film,
culture and history. Buyers, distributors and festival
representatives have access to a videotheque during the festival.
The festival offers filmmakers many opportunities to meet their
audience, and discussions are held both at the screenings and at
special director's talks.
Short films under 60 minutes will be considered for entry. Films
must have been made no more than two years before the deadline for
entries (this year - films made after 30th June 2004). There is no
entry fee.
Eligible screening formats are 35mm, 16 mm, Beta SP, DV, Mini DV,
DVcam.
