November marks the fifth birthday of the Show Me Shorts Film Festival and according to festival Director Gina Dellabarca, "selecting our programme line up this year has been the toughest and most rewarding yet due to increased numbers of entries from filmmakers with an ever-increasing level of skill and inventiveness." The festival will travel around New Zealand showcasing the best 40 short films from Australia and New Zealand divided into six themed sessions to be announced in early October. The festival will kick off with a glamorous opening and awards night on 4th November. For more information visit the Show Me Shorts website.
