Bringing Future Shorts to Latvia

  • Anastasia Shishkina

Future Shorts allows anyone, anywhere to set up a screening and join our international cinematic community. Future Shorts holds the ability to change the ways each of us engage with cinema, generating a global conversation. Since 2011 the festival has spanned over 300 cities in 90 countries, reaching an audience of more than 45,000 people. Internationally acclaimed short films have been screened in countless ways, from London to Tokyo, Cairo to Kabul, in music halls and town halls, theatres and galleries, in clubs, bars and warehouses. Every three months, London-based Future Shorts HQ curate a feature-length programme of short films from around the world. Screening partners pay a fixed fee for the festival programme, which varies according to venue capacity. Partners are then responsible for bringing their screening to life in whatever direction their imagination leads them.
