European Shorts reviews
Review by on 20 Sep 2008
Very good mix of films. First of my favourite shorts was the quirky comedy 'Tony Zear' by Tony Zoreil. Somehow it's strange premise worked a treat. Ken Ishikawa's 'Dear World' was the other: a contemplative look at the apocalypse (marred slightly by sound problems at this screening). Also liked Andrea Harkin's 'Flyer' with its lovely central performance; 'The Tournament' was interesting; and who could fail to warm to the old man in 'One of the Last'. The only one that didn't work for me was 'Synopsis Docu Drama' - so it was a good job that the projecting equipment chose to go completely haywire during this short and not the others.
