Five short films won the “Better City, Better Life” International Student Shorts Award yesterday afternoon. They are “Echoes,” “Miracle Lady,” “Project Silence,” “the Godmother” and “Silent Sea.”
Altogether 928 short films from 58 countries join in the International Student Shorts Award, smashing its history record.
International Student Shorts Award project is co-organised by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination and the organising committee of the 13th Shanghai International Film Festival.
“Film is a big part in Expo history. Many pavilions are playing various kinds of films in Expo Shanghai,” said Xu Wei, spokesman for the Expo Bureau. Expo Shanghai officials encourage students to look Expo Shanghai with different angles and record it in different ways.
International Student Shorts Award began in the 9th Shanghai International Film Festival in 2006 as a platform for young people to communicate with renowned film masters and to display their works. The Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination has been its partner since 2008.
