Celebrating 5 Years of Ultrakort
75 minutes
In 2010 Pathé, the Dutch Film Fund and SNS Reaal Fund launched their competition 'Ultrakort' which has funded four animated shorts (and by 'short' we mean ultra-short—2 minutes max) every year. Cinema Pathé gave the shorts a platform by programming them in front of big blockbusters. Ultrakort's first five editions with 20 films total have gone down in history, reaching a dazzling amount of 2.5 million cinema viewers, and the winners of the sixth will be presented mid November. So much glory and so much more to come, that calls for a celebration!
We've dug up all Ultrakort shorts up until now, showing the incredible span in theme and design. Pathé's Rink Klaassen and several Ultrakort creators will join us for a Q&A, talking about their experiences and give away their secret recipes of success!
