About us

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.
