Electric Shorts

It’s not often these days that every film in a film festival, large, small, mainstream, even fringe, is truly independent – i.e. fully self-funded by the film-maker. This spirit of artists doing it for themselves is exactly the kind of spirit that drives Electric Shorts. Electric Shorts puts together a programme of films fully self funded by twelve diverse film-makers. The films will display different styles and cover a range of themes. Electric Shorts wants to inspire film-makers to do what they’re passionate about, to get their work out there. If you wait around for money from funding bodies or private backers before you start a film, you might be waiting a long time, and your work, your vision might never be seen by anyone. Electric Shorts is part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
