Director: Jaryl Lim and Kew Lin.
It is the near future and a shocking incident with a water catchment area has left thousands dead. The cause: a waterborne virus that could possibly spread across the globe in a matter of weeks. The government enlists the help of trained professionals to seek out and inspect all water sources across the nation for signs of contamination. The protagonist is simply one of the many agents working on the case. Just another day at work for him, however, turns into a decision that could change the course of history.

Just a little over a week before the NYNL call for entries.  We've had several international filmmakers submit his or her film, and we would be very excited to include an international block of shorts for the upcoming series.  The home of a couple of the entries has been from Spain, and we are very impressed with the films we have personally screened thus far.  It is very interesting watching these shorts because the medium does not inherently allow the directors to create neat and tidy pie...

Over the past few weeks, word on film street is that short films are dead; but is this true? Well, from my point of view, coming from a film festival angle, in all honesty I'm not sure. It might be a bit harsh to say that they are dead (they are certainly a lot less fashionable than what they were) yet I would argue that they are still important for a certain type of audience. Who are shorts important for, or more specifically who watches short films? Whilst at the Encounters Film Fe...

The‘short' is a mark of cinema's early days. Butover recent years it has been redeployed as an ideal space in which to playwith distinct forms, from animation to documentary to experimental, all ofwhich the Chilean festival, Fesancor, inc...
