The Off/short
In 2010, the Off/short will take place in Aisne (north of France) next 27, 28 and 29 August.
Nomadic city around film culture, the Off/short is based on that simple idea : give the opportunity to every short films’ or programmes’ scriptwriters, directors and producers to show their creations directly to the audience and people working in the film industry.
A place composed of short-lived screening spaces calling for the unrestrained ‘invaders’ imagination : each participant (alone or in group) creates his own broadcasting space.
Everything but a festival : no selection, no prize, no ceremony, no celebrity…Only 500 short films or programmes shown to the audience, more than 100 short-lived structures with unusual architectures and atmosphere
