The main purpose of the SYF initiative is to allow movies that very rarely anyone watches, much reviews, to find at least a certain amount of exposure, through our articles. Our efforts have resulted in more than 260 articles since April 2019, plus a number of trailers and full movies on our YouTube channel, a number of which eventually found distribution, mostly in various streaming services.
Furthermore, our cooperation with Vienna Shorts has given an opportunity to submit a number of them to the Oscar-qualifying festival, with a significant price-off. This year, we are very glad to announce that, from the ten we submitted, two were picked for screening in the 2021 edition, something we consider a big success.
The two films are “Fallen Fruit” by Cambodian Amit Dubey, and “Sexy Sushi” by Singaporeans Calleen Koh and Amanda Teo. The former will screen as part of Bests of the Fests and the latter as part of the Late Night Section, at 29.05.2021, at 22.30.
