Matthew Toffolo: What is your Film Festival succeeding at doing for filmmakers?

Alecs Nastoiu: The most important thing I guess is that we screen films every month. The classic annual festivals usually screen few shorts, one time per year. And the next important thing is that we screen short films in unconventional spaces like pubs, bars, museums, theatres or terraces. We try to bring short films to the audience, not the audience to cinemas. And another good thing is that we screen short films simultaneous in over 30 cities from Romania and Moldova. And very soon we will start doing this all over the world.

2) What would you expect to experience if you attend the festival this year (2018)?

We are a monthly festival, with monthly awards and screenings. But we have an annual event as well. Each year we change the host city. This year we will organize the annual edition of the festival in Bacau, Romania at the end of July. We are screening all winner films of the monthly awards editions from past year. So we offer the opportunity to the filmmakers to discover new cities each year and to meet with filmmakers from all over the world. Every time we have new audience, and new locations. So I think the experience of Short to the Point Film Festival is continuous and you will never get enough of it.

3) What are the qualifications for the selected films?

We accept any kind of short films in our festival. We have a lot of categories. And each category has it’s own selections and winners. So the qualifications are different from category to category. But our jury is looking for good stories and good filmmaking all the way.

4) Do you think that some films really don’t get a fair shake from film festivals? And if so, why?

There are a lot of film festivals in the world so I think each film has its opportunity to make it to the big screen. It’s all about filmmakers. They have to know where to submit their films.

5) What motivates you and your team to do this festival?

First of all we are filmmakers. So we like films. And Short to the Point offer us the opportunity to meet people from industry, to find good ideas that maybe will inspire us in the future and of course to understand what is the trend in cinematography at the moment.

6) How has your FilmFreeway submission process been?

In my opinion FilmFreeway is the best thing in film festival industry that has happened in last 3 years. It’s the best film submission platform on the market. It’s easy to use and it has a lot of options that makes our job as a festival much more easier.

7) Where do you see the festival by 2023?

In 2023 Short to the Point will have screenings in unconventional spaces all over the world.

8) What film have you seen the most times in your life?

Because I edit my first feature length movie (Billion Star Hotel) for over 6 months, I can say that I saw it the most times. But If we speak about other directors, I can say that I saw over 30 times ‘The man who wasn’t there’, directed by Coen brothers.

9) In one sentence, what makes a great film?

A great film is a product that combines perfectly all ingredients: script, directing, cinematography, editing, acting etc

10) How is the film scene in your city?

I was born in Bucharest but for 6 years I live in a small city from Transylvania called Targu Mures. Here I started with some friends the first film production company in the history of the city. And I made 2 feature films. First of them Billion Star Hotel has 19 awards at festivals around the world and the second one is in post production. Short to the point is screening short films here every month, so I can say that the film scene is animated for the moment by my team.

 SHORT TO THE POINT aduce filme cu intrare liberă în 10 locații din Bacău, România cu ocazia ediției anuale a STTP 2018 Annual Awards

 

SHORT TO THE POINT te provoacă la film, în cadrul unui eveniment maraton care aduce filme de autor, cu intrare liberă, în 10 locații alternative de proiecție din Bacau, România în perioada 23-29 Iulie 2018.

Terasele, cafenelele și barurile sunt locurile în care ne-am învățat deja să consumăm sport în condiții decente de proiecție, după ani întregi în care pe ecranele din aceste locații au găzduit  doar reclame și, uneori, canale TV de muzică, în lipsă de inițative mai creative. SHORT TO THE POINT provoacă românii la un nou tip de divertisment și, astfel, încearcă să conducă publicul cinematografic român către următorul nivel de culturalizare și integrare în social. De ce? Pentru că da, viața bate filmul și putem face asta.

Peste 50 de scurtmetraje premiate anterior în cadrul festivalului Short to the Point vor rula în 10 spații alternative din Bacău, în ultima săptămână a lunii iulie. O selecție de peste 1700 de minute de film, povești spectaculoase venite din toate colțurile lumii, care continuă o tradiție de peste 9 ani de proiecții speciale, oferind publicului din Bacău șansa unică de a urmări filme scurte multi-premiate, cu intrare liberă, într-un interval de 7 zile.

Cele 10 locații care vor găzdui proiecții în cadrul ediției de anul acesta sunt: Teatru de vara Bacau, Parcul Cancicov  (în cadrul evenimentului Street Delivery Bacău Smart Cities), Snobbish Burger, Mixology Bar, Beraria cu noroc, Podu cu lanturi, The Mansion, Beraria Valhalla, Gio Pub, Mandarin.

Programul complet împreuna cu detalii legate de evenimente le puteți găsi pe website-ul festivalului: ShortToThePoint.com.

Proiecțiile de scurtmetraj sunt organizate de Short to the Point (International Short Film Festival) – o reţea internatională de distribuţie, difuzare şi promovare a filmelor de scurtmetraj. În ultimii ani SHORT FILM FACTORY (by STTP) – evenimentul lunar al festivalului Short to the Point – a reușit să creeze o punte de legătură intre filmmakeri, cinefili si spectatorii ocazionali, având ca scop construirea unui nou tip de comunitate urbană.

Lansat în anul 2009 sub forma unei caravane cinematografice în 28 de orase din Romania, STTP a devenit un festival lunar la care se înscriu filme din toate colțurile lumii. Festivalul Short to the Point oferă lunar 16 categorii de premii celor mai bune scurt metraje înscrise, urmând ca acestea sa fie proiectate în cadrul evenimentului național Short Film Factory by Short to the Point.
