Short films from over 40 countries are heading to the 52nd International Short Fiction Film Festival Brno 16. The event is taking place in cinema Art and Bakala hall from Wednesday to Sunday. And most of the screenings will contain English subtitles.

Interested in alternative cinema? Yes? Hurry up to the official website of “Brno16″. No? Well, you can stand a short film anyway and maybe you’ll find out that you actually like it. Check it out anyway! (And don’t forget that the festival bar Karel Never Sleeps at Bakala Hall will have Poutník beer from Pelhřimov on tap for only 19 CZK!)

Brno16 is one of the oldest festivals in Brno. This year, the event got a new director, Marek Loskot, who gave it very sympathetic “punk” feel. The event got promoted via a viral campaign promising “250 shorts for only CZK 100″, which attracted some people interested in buying discounted clothes. I hope it will be a huge success. And not only because we are friends and Brno Now is listed as a partner :)
