The Art of the Short Film

Categories: Panel Discussion - admission included with purchase of a ticket for the evening's films

Run time: 60 min.

Hear from a range of filmmakers about the craft and possibilities of the short film.

On Saturday, June 14, in conjunction with IndiePix and Shooting People, Rooftop Films will host two panel discussions, on The Art of the Short Film and Cinema and Social Justice, bringing in filmmakers, programmers and funders to discuss issues that are crucial to Rooftop Films’ mission.

THE ART OF THE SHORT FILM: The filmmakers on this panel work in animation, documentary, narrative and the hard-to-describe, and they will talk about what they do, why they do it and how they get it done. Get inspired by the sheer range and creativity of these amazing filmmakers. These filmmakers do not make shorts as calling-cards, they make them because they love to work within the limitations of the form. These are not shorts in search of a feature but films that you will fall in love with. Just as they are.
Panelists include: Benh Zeitlin (Filmmaker, Glory at Sea); Duana Butler (Filmmaker, Curator of ReelNY); Signe Baumane (animator), and Casimir Nozkowski (the man who has shown more short films at Rooftop than any other).

Ticket price includes admission to both two panel discussions (The Art of the Short Films and Cinema and Social Justice), a reception in the Old American Can Factory Courtyard with free wine courtesy of Brooklyn Oenology, and admission to the short film screening Industriance Shorts: Eminent Domain.
