Short Film Symposium
Monday 4th December 2006
Manchester Metropolitan University
Chatham Building Lecture Theatre 101
Organised by the INC Research Group and MIRIAD in conjunction with exposures UK Student Film Festival 2006.
Over the last ten years short film production has risen significantly, and along with it the technical, artistic and business skills of a new generation of filmmakers. Short films are becoming a respected and legitimate art form in their own right and an increasingly fascinating area for analysis and debate. This one-day symposium intends to discuss how the aesthetic nature of the form has developed through this recent growth.
