Festival Formula knows as well as anyone just how many short film festivals there are in the world – more than 12,000 listed on FilmFreeway alone – but when you go to Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, with its dedicated Short Film Market, you really feel it.

Based in Berlin, Germany. British Shorts Lichtspielklub Kurzfilmfestival has run for 16 years and is a celebration of British short film productions screening in this vibrant, larger than life city. The delightful Aaron shares his experience and the best way to get the most out of British Shorts Film Festival.

Although the pandemic seems a fading memory, some festivals are still having their first ‘normal’ event since it began. Our strategy client Alfie sends this postcard from the fantastic This Is England over in Rouen.
