La classe Brand New 2016/2018 della Scuola Holden di Torino, in collaborazione con le classi di Cinema e Reporting, presenta il Flash Forward Short Film Festival, che si terrà nel General Store della scuola il 7 e 8 aprile 2018.
Il festival è dedicato ai cortometraggi che hanno come tema o sono ambientanti nel futuro.
Il festival è strutturato in due giornate, una dedicata ai film di oggi che immaginano il mondo, le relazioni e l’ambiente del domani e una dedicata ai film del passato che disegnavano futuri possibili.
Di fronte all’ondata di prodotti culturali influenzati dalla nostalgia degli anni ’80 e ’90, vogliamo proporre uno sguardo verso ciò che sarà, perché il futuro non è scritto ma può essere immaginato. Il festival, tuttavia, non cerca necessariamente film di fantascienza, ma opere che
si pongano la domanda di come sarà la vita nei prossimi decenni.

The ficmonterrey is in a constant search for human narratives that rely on views that emerge from a world in constant movement and transformation, in interconnection and innovation for its selection.
The Festival seeks films with the power to reside in the collective memory of audiences, with the power to move and create dialogue with them.
One of the key interests of the ficmonterrey organizing team is to encourage new perspectives, those who are young not because of their age, but because they are fresh, for remaining critical, for achieving themselves with innovation and venturing into various risks.
The general objective of ficmonterrey is to bring together in Nuevo León an in-person audience, and a virtual one throughout Mexico, before a selection of contemporary Mexican and international cinema created by filmmakers with diverse, fresh, risky, critical, and innovative visions. Likewise, we are interested in providing a training space that promotes the meeting between filmmakers, films and the audience; and activities that promote film production, especially women's and regional ones.
