SAVE THE DATE: this year’s 47th Drama International Short Film Festival will be held September 2-8. Screenings will begin on Monday, while the award ceremony will take place on Sunday. The National Short Film Festival is here to highlight new emerging talented filmmakers and to encourage the creation of short films as an autonomous category for creators of all ages. The Drama Festival, a hub for filmmakers and audiovisual professionals, is considered one of the most important of its kind in Europe, providing contestants with an opportunity to compete for an Oscar nomination. Last year, the films Bearcave (Krysianna Papadaki- Stergios Dinopoulos) and Aqueronte (Manuel Muñoz Rivas) earned a ticket to the Oscar® awards.
