Shorts Circuit

Our two Ockham Collective filmmakers both have short-film news to report. First up, Amarbir Singh has posted his moody new short A Clean, Well-Lighted Place for viewing, free of charge, online. It's based on a 1933 short story by Ernest Hemingway but transported to current-day Auckland. Check it out on YouTube.

On top of that, Anna Duckworth has alerted us to a premiere screening of eight new shorts coming up at Avondale's awesome Hollywood Cinema early next month as part of Day One Hāpai te Haeata, the youth-focussed film project that she directs. The event takes place on Tuesday 3 September, with a Q&A with the filmmakers following the screening. Tickets are $20 from Humanitix.
