“A LONG WEEK OF SHORT FILMS” Festival is the result of the collaboration between Kan-Kan Media and Chinese art and film institutions like Minsheng Museum of Contemporary Arts in Shanghai (official host of the Festival) and Shanghai Film Art Academy. The Festival arises from the need to create a platform for a dialogue and exchange between film professionals, students, film communities and audiences taking as a reference point Shanghai, China.
The festival creates a unique opportunity for presenting the work of independent filmmakers to a wide audience in China and its promotion in this part of the world at the only independent film festival in this part of the world.
The 2015 Edition was a huge success with more than 2000 submissions, 200 films selected and 10 days of great film screenings, workshops, talks, music concerts and dance performances attended by 1000 film-lovers.
The festival alongside the International submission will also showcase several selected national film communities from Europe and Latin America as well as accompany the screenings with workshops, talks and concerts.
