The
International Film and Broadcast Academy (IFBA), Lagos in conjunction with
Goethe institut, Lagos is holding the maiden edition of the
International short film and video festival IN-SHORT 2013. IN-SHORT
is designed to discover the hidden talents for the movie industry.
These include actors, directors, cinematographers, writers etc many of
whom are film school students, film school graduates and others with a
passion and gift for story telling through the motion picture medium.
Many of these are currently producing musical videos, commercials and
documentaries. They are mostly not involved in Nollywood, but it is
hoped that through this festival these hidden talents will be discovered
and given a break.
The
festival director Mr. Victor Okhai has promised the general public an
exciting time at the two and half days screening and workshops.
Attendance at all screenings will be free, including the short film
forum although the short film workshop will be strictly by invitation as
