Short, Sharp, Shock! The ClujShorts International Short Film Festival at Its Second Edition

Summary/Abstract: A Woodwose begging to be saved from the bark trap of a secular tree trunk, bouncy fl akes of winter storm invading the empty school halls, workshops and barns of put to execution peasants stills of a tormented family lurked by fi re in their home, a garden of metallic can fl owers swirling in the dusty wind of a postapocalyptic scenery, a cartoon Death waiting patiently for the hospital elevator while carrying the soul of a car accident victim, those were some of the images that unrolled on the screen of the century old cinema that hosted the gala ceremony of the 2014 edition of the ClujShorts International Short Film Festival. Held between 27 – 30 March, in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, the event stood under the promise of a “Short, Sharp, Shock!” cinematic experience. More or less willingly, it conveyed a distinct sense of all these three ingredients.
