Rebels With Their Shorts

In the face of an absurd world, an absurd response can be expected. These Rebels and their shorts take an outwardly surreal examination of the world in which we live as they examine the creative urge, history and memory with a bold and provocative twist. Sometimes satirical, sometimes shocking, sometimes contemplative, sometimes confrontational these films are always thought provoking and allow to look at things in a completely new way.
These films will take part in Rebels With A Cause, a competition section of the Black Nights Film Festival dedicated to films that defy the traditional modes of filmmaking. The selection provides a mixture of new filmmakers who will lead the way in cinema over the coming years and more established talent.
Each short will be eligible for the honorific prize of Best Rebels Short chosen by the Rebels With A Cause jury members.
