Short Shorts, No Shirt, No Problem (2008) |

Another of the short film programs at this year's Festival, it was two films with a French connection that were the definite highlights. In an incredibly short 13 minutes, Serene Hunter took us through a casual hook-up, a rocky relationship and finally the not unsuspected break-up. Filmed on location in Paris, the film is a tribute to all those who have fantasy boyfriends they only see when they travel (or those that just can't commit). The second short with a French connection is the UK produced Le Weekend. Cynical student filmmaker Seb (Omar) travels from France to London to undertake an assignment with little money and no where to stay. He hooks up with Rafael (Fernando Peres) on the streets of London and spends the next 24 hours exploring the city with his new friend. Question is, is Seb into Rafael as much as Rafael is into Seb? Rounding out the evening were Seven Secrets to Perfect Porn (which worked better as a documentary on the British porn laws than it did on the seven secrets), Kiss (self-explanatory), Sweat (recently dumped guy goes to bathhouse for the first time) and finally the very-funny-in-an-uncomfortable-kind-of-way, the locally produced Asian Boyfriend (see below).
