Bonjour,

The Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival has finally come to a close and although, 'Tethered' didn't walk away with any prizes, both Craig and I had an awesome time. Over the last 9 days we have watched over 80 short films from all around the globe. It's interesting to witness what themes and stories other film makers have been producing over the last 24 months. My top 10 short films screened at Clermont-Ferrand 2012 are as follows (in no particular order):

POSLEDNY AUTOBUS (MARTIN SNOPEK - 2011) SLOVAKIA

TUBA ATLANTIC (HALLVAR WITZO - 2011) NORWAY

A FABRICA (ALYSSON MURITIBA - 2011) BRAZIL

OPOWIESCI Z CHLODNI (GRZEGORZ JAROSZUK - 2011) POLAND

ARMADINGEN (PHILLIP KABOHRER - 2011) GERMANY

LAMBS (SAM KELLY - 2011) NEW ZEALAND

TETHERED (CRAIG IRVIN - 2011) AUSTRALIA

CALLE ULTIMA (MARCELO MARTINESSI - 2010) PARAGUAY

JAMGYR (AYGUL BAKANOVA - 2011) UNITED KINGDOM

PRTLJAG (DANIS TANOVIC - 2011) BOSNIA

Keep an eye out for these films and these directors. 

Au revoir
