Reel Short Takes (12*)

Chronic Youth Film Festival

—
A still from the film Sorry fi disturb ya

A series of shorts that put self-exploration to film. Stop by to experience the world through someone else's lens.

To celebrate emerging talent, the Barbican Young Programmers invited submissions from short-filmmakers in response to the theme of Inside Out; an exploration of the relationship between our inner lives and outward expressions of creativity. Offering up diverse perspectives on overcoming hardship, these films are as experimental as they are intimate and cast a shrewd light on society.

This event is accompanied by a short intro from the filmmakers.
