A short film is not hard to find. TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook Live deliver dashed-off narratives 24/7.
But what about short film as an art form? Like a poem as opposed to a novel, a well-made short film can isolate and magnify a slice of life, embrace mystery, or deliver the punchiest of portraits. A short is a small bite thatâs all the more flavorful for being small.Â
Premiering today and running through Sunday, July 25, the fourth annual Indy Shorts International Film Festival, presented by Heartland Film, is served buffet style. And a big part of the fun of any film festival is browsing the catalog. In this program, youâll find stories of indigenous skateboarders, chimpanzee linguists, pandemic-era paramours, and a turtle living in a tank in a basement, trying to get happy.Â
