A Torrent of Short Films in İzmir

The 12th International İzmir Short Film Festival, which is İzmir’s only film festival, is being held November 16–20 at the French Cultural Center. Over 1,300 films from sixty-five countries were submitted to the festival, in which 114 films from thirty-eight countries are set to compete. Notable among the films selected are “The Lost Thing,” the Oscar-winning 2011 animated film; the BAFTA-award-winning “Until the River Runs Red”; and “Broken Night,” which won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. The program also features three very special short films made by Jean-Luc Godard from 1993 to 2002.
