Go Short's blog

For its third edition film festival Go Short will put the
spotlight on three talented Dutch directors: Arne Toonen, Hanro
Smitsman (winner of the Golden Berlin Bear Award in 2007) and
Danyael Sugawara. Also there will be a special selection of
stop-motion films and Portuguese shorts. Go Short - International
Short Film Festival Nijmegen will take place from 16-20 March 2011
in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Dutch talent
The Dutch filmmakers Arne Toonen, Hanro Smitsman and Danyael
Sugawara have done several successful features and some impressive
short films. Film festival Go Short thought it was about time to
put a spotlight these remarkable Dutch talents.
Arne Toonen is well-known for dozens of short films, commercials
and music videos. His feature film Dik Trom (2010) recently
reached gold status in the Netherlands. Director Hanro Smitsman
was awarded the Golden Bear for his short film Contact (2006) at
the Berlin International Film Festival. After winning this
prestigious award he produced the well received features Skin
(2008) and Dusk (2010). Danyael Sugawara’s short films have been
broadcasted on national television and The Quiet One (2004) was
shown at the film festival Clermont-Ferrand. His first feature
film Upstream (2009) was elected best film by the audience at the
Netherlands Film Festival.
The three filmmakers will fulfill a central role at Go Short’s
third edition.
To add even more Dutch flavour to the festival, the film market
will hold an extensive collection of recent short films up to 60
minutes from different academies, institutes, distributors and
production companies in The Netherlands.

Stop-motion and Portuguese shorts
Another special program will focus on stop-motion, the popular
animation technique. A diverse selection stop-motion films by
directors such as Tim Burton, Adam Elliot, Aardman and Jan
Svankmayer will be shown, as well as making of videos, commercials
and music videos.
Each year, Go Short presents a program containing the best short
films from one country. All eyes will be on Portugal, in
cooperation with Agência - Portuguese Short Film Agency.
