British Shorts is once more back in 2012 to present the most exciting, funniest, strangest and thrilling short films from the home of dirty weather – Drama, comedy, thriller, animation, experimentals, docs, horror, science fiction and music videos straight from the island! We are also extremely thrilled to award the best short film for the first time in our festival’s history.
Taking place between HBC and Sputnik Kino at Sdstern, check out their website for all the info including, of course, the live music programme which is proudly supported by www.blitzgigs.de.
Tonight sees it all kick off at HBC with film screenings and with a live show by Schonwald, a lovely new-wave/shoegaze duo from Italy:
Luca Bandini and Alessandra Gismondi mix powerful guitar sounds, electro beats and Alessandra’s hypnotic vocals – minimalism, elegant and contemporary with an occasional reference to Sonic Youth, Suicide and the Shoegaze sound of the 80s and 90s. Dreamy and low post-punk.
Here’s a track of theirs:
