Short and Sweet ll
The Film Archive present Short and Sweet II - four programmes of short films from Germany
Wellington May 5 - May 13
The Goethe Institute in collaboration with the New Zealand Film Archive present Short and Sweet II, a programme of the most outstanding and innovative short films to emerge form Germany in the past decade.Internationally, German short films have occupied a leading position for many years. In the sixties, young talents like Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders were making their (soon to be famous) names presenting short film works to the public. The multi award winning directors of the second Short and Sweet selection look set to follow in their Illustrious footsteps.
The first series of SHORT & SWEET received an overwhelmingly positive response around the world and audiences in Wellington have eagerly awaited the 2006 installment.
Short and Sweet II consists of 27 award-winning films divided into four thematic sections;
Young and Old
A landlord who may or may not be dead, a number of fantastic inventions and one very alarming Oedipal Complex, Young and Old is a programme of 8 short films that promise to captivate.
Should I Stay or Should I Go
Oscar nominee Small Change heads up this programme of thought provoking and ingenious Films
Close to Home and Far Away
With films shot in such exotic locales as Tokyo, Mongolia and the Howrah railway station of Calcutta, India Close to Home and Far Away focuses a German eye on the world-at-large.
You and Me
Featuring competing orgasms, decapitation and a musical about service station stick-ups, You and Me is romance sans cliches.
