This year the best of international short film comes to Southampton courtesy of Shnit – a film festival that’s held in people’s houses and alternative venues around the globe – from Luanda to Bogota, from St Petersburg to Seattle – and at the Immaculate Conception Church Hall, Southampton. According to Urban Dictionary ‘shnit’ means “funky, freaky, and full of style; something shnitty is unique and extraordinary in any positive way” – and this years’ award-winning film selection certainly lives up to this description.
Those who recall last years’ screenings are in for a treat as this years’ screening at our new venue in Portswood presents a unique 90 minute selection – none of which are available to view online.
