Future Shorts ONE is not your ordinary shorts film festival. Not only does it show
us some of the most amazing shorts from around the world, but it also provides the
audience with an unforgettable interactive experience.
Each month the festival stops in a new city with a new theme. The festival organis-
ers won’t divulge the theme ahead of time, but they did tell us: "Wear your best
travel gear, and don’t forget your cameras".
And that’s not all! There is a free beer included in the price! Now there is no excuse
to not enjoy even the most avant-garde sample of cinematography.
Like a well-known old guy said: “All the world’s a stage”. Do you want to partake?
