ONAFHANKLIKE KORTFILMS | INDEPENDENT SHORT FILMS

Die Silwerskermfees bou daarop voort om sy aanbod van onafhanklike kortfilms uit te brei. Tradisioneel was die meerderheid kortfilms wat by die fees vertoon is, geïnisieer, gefinansier en gementor deur die Silwerskermfees-kortfilmprojek. Hierdie jaar spog die fees weer met onafhanklike kortfilms deur plaaslike filmmakers in ’n verskeidenheid genres en tale.

The Silwerskerm Festival builds on its offering of independent short films. Traditionally the majority of short films screened at the festival was initiated, financed and mentored by the Silwerskermfees Short Film Project. This year, yet again, the festival boasts independent short films by local filmmakers in a variety of genres and indigenous South African languages.

PANEELBESPREKING | PANEL DISCUSSION

Die krag in kort

Fasiliteerder: Muneera Sallies

Paneel: Dian Weys, Wim Steyn, Jordy Sank, Dominique Jossie, Jozua Malherbe

Die kortfilm is een van die rolprentkuns se uitdagendste maar ook lonendste formate. Hierdie paneelbespreking ontleed wat ’n goeie kortfilm laat werk: die bondigheid van storievertelling, die eiesoortige stem wat dit vereis, en hoekom dit steeds die vinnigste pad na internasionale erkenning vir opkomende rolprentmakers kan wees. Die gesprek, wat in tandem met ’n vertoning van Dian Weys se hoogaangeskrewe kortfilm Aasvoëls aangebied word, gaan vra hoekom kort inderdaad die kragtigste kan wees.

The power of short

Anchor: Muneera Sallies

Panel: Dian Weys, Wim Steyn, Jordy Sank, Dominique Jossie, Jozua Malherbe

The short film is one of cinema's most unforgiving and most rewarding formats. This panel unpacks what makes a great short work: the economy of storytelling, the distinct voice it demands, and why it remains the sharpest ticket to international recognition for emerging filmmakers. Paired with a screening of Dian Weys's acclaimed Aasvoëls, this is a conversation about why small can hit hardest.
