Great Shorts A chance for those of you caught up in the 9 to 5, to relax at the weekend with some of the finest award-winning shorts on offer this year. So if you haven't been to Hamburg or Tampere, you can still see what the juries there deemed to be their best short film. Special mention must go to Jens Jonsson of Sweden, director of both Fragile and Headway.
