Shorts Competition Program 4: Signals, Noise and Silence

Running time: 102 mins

Cinequest is proud to present a selection of shorts from 17 countries around the world that will astonish, inspire, and pique at the curiosity with an extensive range of challenging and redemptive stories. Experience documentaries fold into drama, then flow into animations and maybe end in comedies. Absurd farce will bump shoulders with real life and bored youth will transcend?it?s a roller coaster ride from one film to the next.

Awards will be given at the end of the festival to Best Narrative Short, Best Documentary Short, Best Animated Short and Best Student Short. All will be in consideration for the Audience Award for Best Short. Cinequest is also proud to announce that Winners of the Best Narrative Short and Best Animated Short film will be eligible for Academy Award® nominations in their respective category.
