This conversation is a rare chance to hear from the front line how festivals and cinemas can open their doors to a broader range of artists and audiences. Matthew Hellett is the head programmer of Oska Bright Film Festival, the world’s first and leading festival of films made by or featuring people with learning disabilities, autism, or additional needs. Sandra Alland is a Glasgow-based multi-media artist and curator. Both work within disability arts and have a core interest in LGBTQI+ shorts.

They discuss how they source, select, and promote the films they love. This head-to-head debate covers common ground and divergence areas.

Produced by Glasgow Short Film Festival

Short films are key to cinematic innovation. Because of their brevity, they allow filmmakers to react to the world around them more instinctively and showcase a stunning range of artistic expressions. As a magazine dedicated to short films, Talking Shorts aims to create a wider discourse about this often-overlooked art form.

We strive to produce universally readable content that can inspire, cultivate, and educate a broad range of audiences, from students and scholars to non-cinephile readers, in an attempt to connect filmmakers, audiences, festival organisers, and a young generation of film lovers who might not yet know what short films are or can do.

Since 2023, Talking Shorts is the official outlet of The European Network for Film Discourse (The END), which consists of 8 unique and diverse European film festivals and is funded by the Creative Europe MEDIA Programme of the European Union. Our work and publications are closely connected to the (European) film festival landscape.
