Abstract

Founded in 1997, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur is Switzerland’s largest and most important short film festival. It is also one of the most renowned events of its kind worldwide, whose prize winners qualify for prestigious awards consideration, including for Oscar, BAFTA and European film awards. With roughly 17,000 visitors and 800 accredited industry guests, it is a popular festival for the cinephile audience as well as an important hub for the domestic and international short film scene, and it offers a wide range of training and networking opportunities geared specifically towards short film professionals. This article outlines how the festival posits that the short film can be viewed politically, as a way to build an international community of filmmakers, curators and audiences. Taking the festival’s longstanding ties with Ukrainian filmmakers as an illustrative example, the authors delineate how curating short film is a practice of caring for cinema and communities.

期刊介绍： The main purposes of SFS are: To stimulate ongoing research on individual short films as a basis for a better understanding of the art form To provide a flow of cutting-edge teaching materials that can be used in courses in which short films are either studied or produced, at film schools or universities To offer fresh inspiration to filmmakers and other professionals working with short films in connection with festivals, national film institutes, regional film centres, etc. While the principal focus is on the short fiction film, other classic forms – such as the short documentary, the short experimental film and the short animation film – are also covered from time to time. In each issue, two productions are singled out for comprehensive presentation and close study. For each film, the reader will find production data, an interview with the director, a shot-by-shot breakdown of the film with a still illustrating every shot, a number of peer-reviewed articles that illuminate the film from a variety of perspectives and a link enabling subscribers to view the film.
