"Very often we would have a short filmmaker come one year and then a couple of years later they would have expanded that film or come with a new feature. So I think for those looking to spot new talent or those to keep an eye on, the short film programs are really very excellent this year. One of the films that is probably one of the best embodiments of how the economic catastrophe is impacting real people’s lives is Revolution Reykjavik, since Iceland was one of the first countries having a total economic breakdown.
It’s very interesting to see how that now has been absorbed and what can now begin to come out of that situation. Of course, there are other really excellent shorts, but it is really amazing to see a short film that can grapple with that problematic issue so well."
