Alternative Views: Alternative Possibilities for Screening Short Films and Videos

'An issue of concern to most short film/video-makers is getting their films or videos screened and seen by audiences.

It doesn't necessarily mean their films are no good, simply that the selection committees made decisions favouring other films.' David King outlines some alternative options for screening short films, and focuses on a new phenonmenon called microcinema, which is widenening the audience possibilites for short film and video-makers worldwide.
