2 Welcome

The Aesthetica Short Film Festival opens on 5 November and continues until 8 November.

2015 is the festival’s 5th anniversary and in that time we have screened over 1,500 flms from over 65 countries. There have been countless masterclasses, networking, parties, and of course, ASFF becoming a BAFTA Qualifying Film Festival. Things have been busy, since we set out in 2011 to use York as a cinematic playground. Every year, we are expanding our programme and ofering more opportunities for industry and public engagement.

ASFF has once again attracted thousands of entries, and this year’s Ofcial Selection demonstrates the universal appeal of flm and outstanding storytelling. It’s our most ambitious selection to date across genres from fashion and experimental to drama, comedy and thriller. This year’s guest countries include China, Cuba and Brazil. We also have a special screening of Simon Armitage’s and Richard Heslop’s flm The Raft. ASFF also teams up with the NRM to present rare archive flm. We will also be showing winners from previous festivals with panel discussion afterwards – not to be missed.

Some of the flm world’s most acclaimed talents will be in York to ofer masterclasses, including Channel 4, Ridley Scott Associates, National Theatre, director Tim Pope and editor Robbie Gibbons, together with festivals and programmers from across the word.

All flms that are part of the Ofcial Selection are in competition for awards in 11 categories. It has been wonderful hosting ASFF and we’re excited about the future.

86 Fashion

Stay on trend and explore how fashion flm is establishing itself as a new genre; growing, developing and crossing flmic and stylistic boundaries.

Returning for its second year at ASFF, fashion flm takes the creations of today’s leading designers as a starting point for imaginative leaps into scenarios that draw freely from the surreal to the grittily urban, from the spy thriller to the art house.

Today’s fashion flm is far more than a glossy commercial, instead raising profound questions about beauty, appearance and reality, while still relishing the sheer creativity of contemporary design.

There are a number of masterclasses discussing this topic, which looks at the crossover between fashion and branded content. Do not miss these events and discover how this genre is developing beyond advertising.
