Tonight: Short Films in Washington Park

Tonight Brooklyn Film Works in Washington Park presents its annual evening of  Asbury Shorts, an exhibition of award-winning short films specially selected from major US & International film festivals by Doug LeClaire. I went last year and was very impressed and entertained by the selection of short films. The program features films that have won Academy Awards or “Best of Show” honors from such festivals as Sundance, Chicago International, Aspen Shorts,The Berlin Film Fest, Melbourne and South by Southwest.

Asbury’s purpose is to present these highly entertaining films to the general public in a real theater setting and not on an iPod or computer.

AT 8PM before the show starts, enjoy special musical guests: CUMBIAGRA @ 8 PM.

The films start at 8:40 PM:

“Friends and Strangers”, directed by Ed Caban

“The Lost Thing” directed by Andrew Ruhemann & Shaun Tanand

“Bye Bye Now” directed by Aideen O”Sullian/ Ross Whitaker

“While the Widow was Away” directed by Adam Reid

“She’s a Soul Man” directed by Caitlin Byrnes
