SHORT FOCUS - Issue 6
•
It’s a new year and along with it comes a brand new issue of SHORT FOCUS magazine! This is, of course, a busy time for reflection as we look back at our setbacks and achievements, whilst formulating our plans for the year to come. It seems apposite then to celebrate our first issue of 2022 by discussing many of the films that we featured in last year’s festival programme.
•
For us, Short Focus Film Festival is more than a singular exhibitive gesture; it is a statement of our vision for the future cultural landscape, an expression of our belief in a world that will continue to strive for originality and embrace innovative voices. It can be all too easy to perpetuate cynicism and bemoan the demise of artistic fertility within this rapidly developing social media age, rather than challenge it. But challenge it we must.
•
It is for this reason that we have chosen to feature in this issue many of the films from our most recent festival, in order to multiply the number of platforms from which these (and many other) films can be discovered, to reciprocate their creators’ efforts with intelligent and honest discourse, and historicize these important artefacts for the annals of film history for generations beyond our own.
•
Issue 6 of Short Focus magazine is available to view and order now via our website (www.framelight.org/media).

About FRAME LIGHT
FRAME LIGHT is a film organisation dedicated to popularising the medium of short film, with particular focus on supporting independent filmmakers from around the world. Our aim is to provide these filmmakers with multiple platforms from which they can showcase their talents, share ideas and launch their careers. We provide opportunities for their work to be seen in unique and prestigious locations, be screened on our online short film channel or reviewed in our written and audio publications.
It is our mission to discover, introduce and celebrate short films not widely seen publicly and that we believe deserve recognition for the skill, dedication and passion demonstrated in these productions. We hope that by screening and critiquing short films we can help to broaden discussion relating to the form's governing principles into cultural and casual arenas.
Our organisation is special in that we care about the filmmaker and the spectator, and therefore offer our festivals, film channel and reviews to hardened cinephiles and uninitiated audiences alike. All filmmakers are welcome to submit their short films for either festival exhibition, streaming and download, or review subject to guidelines and fees, which are detailed fully in our 'Terms & Conditions'.
We believe in the power of short film and that your film deserves to be seen.
