One of the biggest international short film festivals in Asia, ShortShorts takes place in June all around the city every year, but now returns for an autumn encore at the Metropolitan Art Museum and the Andaz hotel's 51st-floor studio. This time, you can look forward to a total of six programmes highlighting award-winning films from 2015's main festival, plus a number of art-related documentaries such as Obey the Giant, which is about street artist Shepard Fairey, and 2012's A Brief History of John Baldessari. Best of all, every single screening is free to attend.
The details aren't out yet, but if the main festival is any indication, all films will be screened either in English or with English subtitles. Look out for the full programme, to be released in the weeks to come.
