A Crush on German Short Films

Cyprus : A Crush on German Short Films

For the 4th consecutive year, ARTos Foundation in collaboration with the Goethe Institut in Cyprus present the open air screening of “A Crush on German Short Films” on Thursday, 4 June 2015, at 21:00, at ARTos Foundation, within the framework of the 7th X-Dream Festival.

The successful German-French collaborative project of the AG Kurzfilm – German Short Film Association, German Films, the Goethe-Institut Lyon, the festival management in Clermont-Ferrand, and the Kurz Film Agentur Hamburg is presenting another outstanding programme this year. From more than 430 German short film entries at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film Festival, eight excellent short films have been selected, ranging from bizarre and exciting to warm-hearted and hilarious stories.
