We talk to Filipino-American film critic and programmer Aaron Hunt about his new program on contemporary Philippine cinema at the Brooklyn Academy of Music
The Oscars celebrate short films, but good luck trying to watch them beyond that moment in the spotlight unless you know about Omeleto, Vimeo, Alter and Dust.
The platform aims to be a space for short films where "the attention is from people who are purposely seeking out quality, rather than having it shoved towards them by an algorithm."
As we gratefully bid adieu to the year that was (insert jokey “2020 was a clusterf ck” reference) it is a perfect time to take stock and praise some of the amazing short films (254 in total) we had the pleasure to share with you these past 12 months. While our official “Short Awards” will arrive in a few weeks, this is an opportunity to shine a light on the personalities and tastes of the team that make Short of the Week what it is. So, we asked each member to pick their personal favorite and explain why. Enjoy all of our picks and see you next year!
