Uppsala Kortfilmfestival

I volunteered at the Kortfilmfestival (short film festival) last weekend. I got to meet some cool people while I was doing it, and all I had to do was sell tickets and drink coffee and in return I got to see as many short films as I wanted. They were set up in 2-hour blocks and over the course of that week I saw five.

At first some of the films seemed way too intense and I wondered why they would make them so hard to watch, but then I realized that when you only have 5-20 minutes to show something, you have to make it make an impact. You don't have a few hours of buildup to make your point.

Even though I understand why they had to be so intense, I have to admit that my favorite was the animated one that was just insanely beautiful.
