Snapshots – International Shorts 18

The best short films open a window into a moment of time in their characters’ lives, allowing us to spend time in their shoes and in their lives. This is particularly true of the films (from Japan and the UK) selected for the Snapshots strand.

Featuring a dazzling array of stories that show off the infinite variety of what it means to be alive, these are snapshots that will linger in your memory for long after the screening ends.
