The Romanian Independent Film Association organizes
the International Short Film Festival TIMISHORT in
Timisoara/Romania. The festival’s goal is to
find contemporary author-short films as well as a
selection of the best author film features of all
time. At the same time the festival intents to bring
together personalities of the international cinema
landscape, well-known film authors and film critics,
which will debate on the issue of the author-feature
films from nowadays. Furthermore, the festival
will promote young film students or film graduates
within a special section named Schools Visit. This section
gives young film makers the chance to present their
work to a specialized public and to promote the invited
film schools.
During the festival, creative workshops for young
film makers will take place with the focus on making
of author-films. Every edition will bring into the
light old less known Romanian author-films. At the
same time the selection of the festival will concentrate
on finding the experimental spirit of the independent
films, which are made with low budget but still have
something to say.

Asociatia Romana a Filmului Independent organizeaza
Festivalul International de Film Timishort care isi
propune sa descopere filme de scurt-metraj de autor,
precum si o selectie a celor mai bune filme de autor
de lungmetraj ale timpului. De asemenea, festivalul
isi propune sa adune personalitati ale cinematografiei
mondiale, autori consacrati si critici de film care
sa dezbata problema filmului contemporan de autor.
In paralel, festivalul va promova tineri studenti sau
absolventi ai scolilor de film intr-o sectiune speciala
a festivalului, numita Schools Visit. Aceasta sectiune
isi propune sa ofere tinerilor cineasti sansa sa isi
prezinte filmele in fata unui public avizat, format
din specialisti de film, precum si sa promoveze scolile
de film invitate.
Pe durata festivalului se vor organiza de asemenea si workshopuri
creative unde tinerii cinefili pot invata pasii autoratului.
Fiecare editie a festivalului va aduce in actualitate
vechi filme romanesti de autor mai putin cunoscute
publicului de astazi. De asemenea, selectionerii festivalului
vor incerca sa gaseasca spiritul experimental al filmelor
independente, facute fara buget, dar care au ceva de
spus.
