As part of its continuing Festival In Focus series, Go Social Film Magazine this month directs the spotlight towards “Shortcutz Amsterdam”, the year-long short film festival which takes place weekly each Tuesday in the heart of Amsterdam to celebrate Dutch short films and emerging national talent.
The current issue showcases three of Shortcutz Amsterdam’s January 2014 competition winners and the auteur directors who created them, “Flirt” dir. Gabriel Bauer, “Canvas” dir. Chiel Aldershoff and “Wednesdays” dir. Aaron Rookus. These talented directors share behind-the-scenes stories about the production of their films as well as personal insights on the Dutch short film industry. In addition, the magazine presents all three winning shorts for readers to view from within its digital pages on their mobile devices.
