Latest 7 takes a look at the forthcoming Future Shorts film extravaganza as it comes to Brighton

Since 2003, Future Shorts has created a rapidly expanding network giving filmmakers the opportunity to have their work seen. Passionately believing in getting short films seen and creating a culture around the medium, Future Shorts is recognised by filmmakers and the industry as a leading light in the film community.
Now in its fifth year and in tandem with its own birthday celebrations, Future Shorts will drop in to Brighton on Friday 7 November at the Duke of York’s. Future Shorts works as a worldwide short film festival providing an alternative system to the traditional film festival model.
Filmmakers have the chance to get their work seen all over the world from just one submission. This year’s exhibition will provide an alternative cinematic experience, where screenings will be accompanied by multimedia elements including live music and rescores, performers and installations. The Brighton leg includes an exclusive collection of short films including Wes Anderson’s charming and comical Hotel Chevalier starring Natalie Portman; an exclusive preview of the Cinematic Orchestra’s To Build A Home; a music video from Gnarls Barkley; a secret film from The Adventures in Short Film DVD and the brilliant cut and paste animation The Master Control.
Future Shorts is involved in the organisation of cinematic events as a new way of exposing people to short films in different environments, combining a variety of creative ideas. Future Shorts has become a must-attend event at music festivals like Glastonbury, The Big Chill and Nokia Lab in Russia as well as the Future Cinema at the London Film Festival and Rock‘n’Roll Cinema, where shorts are mixed with music to spectacular effect.
So grab the chance to opportunity to indulge in a much maligned art form whilst kicking back and experiencing cinema in a multifaceted and intoxicating environment.
