“Ante la araña” forma parte del festival Sahar International Film Festival que tiene lugar en Manchester (Reino Unido), proyectandose el 21 de febrero del 2015 en Millgate Arts Centre, Stoneswood Road.
This is the first year that Sahar International Short Film Festival will be held. The festival was conceived with two objectives. First: to support independent short filmmakers, and second to make audiences familiar with and accustomed to watching and welcoming the world of short film.
Talented filmmakers sometimes if you look at the credit of their film you realise, they are alone in writing, directing, producing, camera and editing their films. Sometimes with no budget or self finance create and produce their own films with the knowledge that their release will not have profit or the public and commercial benefits, not the same as feature movies
Due to this fact, short film has its own restrictions, but these restrictions give them freedom from business to impress and create their artistic content and view. Sometimes some filmmakers think short film is a first step into feature film industry, but I believe the duty of film industry is to recognise short film as its own type. If we look at the television , or cinema we can not find any single TV channel or cinema to emphasize and screen just short films as their own type. As long as industry does not take it seriously we can not expect the ordinary audience to believe and accept it, to spend time and money for it, and the story of producing short filmmakers repeats and repeats and nothing will change without investment in material and culture.
