Issue 3 of Short Focus magazine is out now! You can view the digital version of the magazine over on Issuu, or you can order your own beautiful, high quality print edition from our website. We are extremely proud of this issue and would like to thank all of the filmmakers, writers and contributors involved in the production of this lovely document. We hope you enjoy it too. • Issue 3 centres on Zhenia Kazankina's Rio, a wonderfully strange and ultimately tragic tale of adolescent ennui, with a magical-realist edge that owes as much to Yorgos Lanthimos as it does to Wes Anderson. • Also featured in this issue: Hollow Tooth, José, Bulldog, Reclaiming the Negative, Fancy a Cuppa?, The Painting, Old Flame - A Super 8 Story, and much more... • #shortfocus #magazine #shortfilmmagazine #filmmagazine #shortfilmmag #filmmakersmagazine #supportshortfilm #shortfilmlove #fltv #shortfilmtv #shortfilmmedia #shortformcinema #cinema #grassrootsfilm #filmmakers #film #shortfilm #filmmag #shortfocusmagazine (at Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNTEUmLBEsw/?igshid=1u9du2ka1q5zr

New to FLTV: 'The Animal That Therefore I Am’ [Bea De Visser, Netherlands, 2019] • “What does the animal see when it looks at me?” Three animals and a woman coexist in an enclosed space. As they study each other, their own methods of communication create a wordless conversation. We view them in close-up and from various perspectives, with the woman as a solitary species in this universe. 'The Animal That Therefore I Am' is an experimental and existential work that interrogates our own perceptions of humanity by displacing our gaze with that of the animal, revealing the true vulnerability of our species and the fragility of the evolutionary framework. • 'The Animal That Therefore I Am' is available exclusively at FLTV. Fly over to our On Demand channel to rent or buy the film now. • #shortfilm #ondemand #videostreaming #download #dutchfilm #netherlands #experimentalfilm #cinema #animals #humanity #evolution #FLTV (at Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLWzS84hoy2/?igshid=160cppu7s698y

“Sometimes there are works of art that just do exactly what it says on the tin. If I told you, without you seeing it, that there was a short film called ‘Knitting and Walking’, you’d be hard-pressed to misjudge the film's premise. There is an interesting rationale to the chosen subject – a kind of therapeutic, multi-tasking flaneurism that attempts to address, through sightseeing and handcrafts, a kind of love for and interest in the city.” • Patricia Watney reviews ‘Knitting and Walking’ [Brenda Miller, UK, 2018].

We are incredibly proud to announce that FLTV is an official sponsor of Visability Film Festival 2021! • Visability Film Festival is a new film festival aimed at raising the profile of female-identifying, as well as disabled and neuro-diverse filmmakers, running from 13-28 February 2021.

“Home alone in the dead of night, you hear a noise in the garden. Dogs barking, torch brandished, you rush to confront an unknown nemesis but no one is there. It’s a familiar scene from many a horror film. Director Ryan Wilson gives a modern spin to this classic horror trope in ‘Foley’, as one man and his sound recorder star in what seems to be at once a thriller and an homage to the joys of filmmaking. • Read Sally Roberts’ review of ‘Foley’ [Ryan Wilson, USA, 2020] and many more over at www.framelight.org/reviews.
