Short film screenings

The Short Caravan

The Short CaravanThis is a travelling cinema offering in 'remote' areas, stopping off every day in a different small town or village to meet local audiences. This joint initiative by FIFF and Clap ! Office for film shoots takes place in the provinces of Namur, Luxembourg and Liège. As well as showcasing short films and young talent, the Caravan makes cultural events more accessible to audiences who don't always have access to screenings at specialist cinemas in larger towns. The 'Caravan' includes evening screenings for the general public, as well as screenings for school audiences, giving schoolchildren the chance not only to meet the filmmakers, but also to be confronted with the criticisms, desires and needs of tomorrow's cinema-goers.

For the first time this year, and in collaboration with Africalia, the Caravan is hosting a Southern programme with 2 short films:
