Two Short Nights 2009 - International Short Film Festival

Fri 27-Sat 28 November 2009

Exeter Phoenix, Bradninch Place, Gandy Street, Exeter EX4 3LS, UK

The 8th Two Short Nights Film Festival is set to showcase some of the most exciting and diverse short films from the UK and abroad. This year, the much anticipated Phoenix Media bursary films will again be premiered on the Saturday night as well as the two new Devon County Council, UK Film Council and South West Screen supported Digital Shorts, which will be premiering along side the other Exeter Phoenix supported films from the year.

For the second year running we will be hosting the 'Two Long Days - 48 Hour Film Challenge' and the 'Guerrilla Filmmaking workshop' as well as a new South West Screen funded event, the 'Media Mashup Conference' where you can join film professionals in discussions, network with other filmmakers from the region and watch more inspiring films from the South West.

The premiere screening of the Phoenix Media Bursary Films has sold out well in advance over previous years, so we strongly advise early booking.
