SP 04 Reality Bites


Since its inception, the short film itself eludes clear categorisation. Minds are even divided as to whether it is a genre, type or category. For some years now, the boundaries have been further blurred, as short film has self-confidently capitalised on developments in new media, playfully combining documentary tropes, fiction, animation and experimental cinema. Among other things, this evolution can be interpreted as a reaction to the shifting concept of reality brought on by digitalisation. The films situated in this liminal zone challenge our perception, by revealing other perspectives through the ruptures they create.
