A VERY SHORT WEEK!
Duration: 72:34
We heard similar stories from around the globe for the past two years. The shorts selected in the festival opening program are a reminder of how beautiful, personal and diverse each stories are. We want to remember and understand how the world is hopeful by celebrating shorts watched on big screens in the midst of pandemic. Let’s remember being human through cinema
