Today we reveal the remaining part of Silver Lynx Competition: our Short Fiction selection. 23 films from 19 countries packed in 4 screenings make up our Short Fiction competition, with particular emphasis to Portugal, Belgium, Brazil, Holland and Canada, with two films each.
It includes some of the biggest hits of the last 12 months, such as the Portuguese sensation and multi-awarded “the Installation of Fear” by Ricardo Leite. Mixing a series of different genres, from the comedic approaches of “Ready To Assemble” by Norwegian directors Astrid Thorvaldsen & Erik Paulsen, to a reinvention of Genre cinema in the daring and mysterious “Room for Rent” by Enock de Carvalho e Matheus Farias, the competition for the Silver Lynx Award for Best Short Fiction promises to be fierce. FEST audiences will also be able to marvel at the visual beauty of Canada’s François Jaros’ “Oh What a Wonderful Feeling”, and be shockingly surprised by “Millimeterle” by Pascal Reinmann, among many others. There are surely no lack of reasons to dig in deep our short fiction competition this year, as it is one of the strongest ever.
