The Seminal Shorts

The 25th Minimalen Short Film Festival proudly presents a cornucopia of new expressions from Wednesday February 27th to Sunday March 3rd 2013 at Nova Cinema in Trondheim, Norway.

This year's programme promotes upcoming Nordic voices, gives attention to animation both as art and entertainment, and embraces notable contributions from the world at large.

Come close to the filmmakers in the masterclass with Cordell Barker and get a new perspective on modern classics in this year's symposium presented by the journal Short Film Studies.

Go from premiere party to premiere party and be among the first to watch the seminal films. Afterwards, you can have a beer with the filmmakers at the Festival Club. Welcome to this year's film fest!

Cordell Barker (2 programmes)
Like Minimalen, our signature film The Cat Came Back is celebrating its 25-year anniversary this year. What suits better than giving a face to the genius behind the cat? Masterclass and workshop with Cordell Barker, the Canadian auteur animator of The Cat Came Back, Strange Invader and Runaway. Crazed energy and skewed humour.
