ASFF 2016 from 3 until 6 November, York, UK
The Aesthetica Short Film Festival returned for its sixth year, running 3 – 6 November in 18 distinct venues across York. This year’s festival screened 400 films as part of its Official Selection and presented a number of Showcase Screenings from leading cultural institutions. ASFF and the Northern Film School at Leeds Beckett University teamed up to present a new award for 2016, celebrating Best Screenplay in the Official Selection. New events included Morning Coffee at McGees – a place to discuss best practice – and the industry sessions such as Meet the Film Festivals returned by popular demand. More than 25 masterclasses with key speakers from the film world today offered essential advice and support for both emerging and established practitioners.
