| About us ? |
|
Short Escape (used to be Future
Shorts Brussels) is one of 43 Films asbl’s projects (www.43films.be).
The 43 Films asbl was co-founded by Ariane and Stéphanie Lippens
and by Alice van den Abeele (www.alicebxl.com)
in March 2004, in order to be able to organise the Future Shorts events
in Brussels.
Since 2005, Amandine Cumps has joined the team.
Eric Pecher has been compiling the films on DVD from the start, through
Escape Lab, the company he works for.(www.escapelab.com)
Knowing that the life period of short films is often limited to festivals
and competitions, the ambition of Short Escape is to expand their
lifetime and screen them for audiences who don't necessarily attend
short film festivals and in various places and towns in Belgium. Short
Escape also tries to invite the directors of the films shown, in order
to offer them the opportunity to discuss with the audience in a relaxed
atmosphere.

Short Films selection criterias
: |
|
The SHORT ESCAPE team select films
according to their own taste but always in order to touch a larger
audience.
The selection is open to all types of films without exception (video
clip, 3d, experimental, documentary, animation…) the only
criteria is that films have to last from 1 to 30 minutes.
The films are compiled on a DVD and this, thanks to
the very generous collaboration of Escape Lab sprl (www.escapelab.com).
The rights of the screenings are asked each month to the directors
and/or producers.
As far as possible, the directors, actors or
producers are invited to come to present their work in order to
share their experience with the public. The public is invited to
vote for the short they preferred.
