Love is in the Air!
“The course of true love never really run smooth.” This famous quote by William Shakespeare essentially captures the true meaning of what it is like to be in love and that it does not come and go easily. There are no barriers nor boundaries in the game of love, it can happen anywhere, anytime with anyone, and sometimes when you least expect it.
The Date Night program has a praise-worthy selection of 7 shorts that will take you on a journey around the globe leaving some familiar, some unexpected, and some really ambient moments that you will never forget!
I’ll give you a little taste of what you can look forward to and leave the rest for you to discover!
“Lunch Date” (11 minutes) by Sasha Collington is a funny, quirky story about how a girl gets dumped by her boyfriend’s younger brother and how this chance encounter turns into something totally unexpected and sweet!
Ever heard someone say that romance can take any shape or form? Well Spike Jonze and Simon Cahn have put that to test in their absolutely magnificent animated short called “To Die by your Side” (6 minutes) in which passion ignites to some serious levels between two storybook characters and really grips each and every emotion within!
So what is a pre-marital romance like in Egypt? Come and discover deep and intimate conversations that will make you curious, tingle, blush and laugh all at the same time with Ritesh Batra’s “Cafe Regular, Cairo” (11 minutes). The story is about a young Muslim couple, played by Mai Abozeed and Alaa Ezzat, who meet at a cafe patio to discuss the next steps in their 2 year long relationship.
This is just a quick snap shot of what will be screened at Date Night. For more information about the shorts playing in this section please visit: http://worldwideshortfilmfest.com/films/program/date-night/
I recommend all you love-birds, love-haters, heart-breakers to check out this very international road to love.
