posted on 02-10-2012, FilmGym Updates, Screenings, Short films

The FilmGym invites you to its monthly screening series of international Short Films
@ Culturefix in the LES, Manhattan.

After a successful year of bringing you fresh, unique and culturally versatile shorties onto the big screen we are proud to have found a new home in the city.

As always, we’re proud to present an amazing line up of international award winning short films including the Sundance short “After You Left”, followed by a Q&A with the director Jef Taylor.

AFTER YOU LEFT (20MIN) - directed by Jef Taylor (Director will be present at the screening for Q&A)

A man in his mid-thirties searches for meaning in the aftermath of a relationship.
A largely improvised drama created in the shadow of the events on which it is based, After You Left embraces the fine line between art and life––between the story being told and the lives of those telling it. The result is a realistic and intimate portrait of love and loss, as well as a uniquely personal reflection of the moment in which it was made.

CONTACT “RAAK” (10MIN) – directed by Hanro Smitsman (Back due to technical issues)

How an offensive remark rebounds like a boomerang on the one who launches it. Revenge as a motive plays a key role in the study of the causes and consequences of rude conduct. A string of succinct conflicts leads, with changing perspectives, to a surprising climax, and teaches us that the wounded person can never efface his or her pain by hurting someone else. Because in many cases, the unforeseen effects are quite far-reaching.

Festivals the film has played at:

- Golden Bear – Best Short Film – Berlinale Film Festival
- Le Prix BeTV – Short Film Festival Brussels
- Spirit Award – Best Short Film – Brooklyn International Film Festival
- Best Live Action under 15 minutes – Palm Springs International Film Festival
- Prix UIP Ghent – Film Festival Ghent
and many more…

TELL ME THAT “Dime Que Yo” (14MIN) – directed by Mateo Gil

HE and SHE meet exactly at the same time they break up with their own couples. HE is left by his girlfriend while SHE dumps her boyfriend. Is it possible for two strangers to begin a conversation full of recriminations, arguing until they get hoarse, and passionately reconcile as if they were a couple in the end?
