YES, International Short Films in Titusville’s Digital Downtown 2015!
Moomins on the Riviera — Finnish children’s classic retold comes to Art & Algorithms 2015. Saturday and Sunday 3 pm
If you visited Art & Algorithms in 2013 and 2014, you may have seen these films and you know just how exciting the selection of films can be that curator Clifton Stewart carefully selects for Art & Algorithms.
This year’s Art & Algorithms Film Festival offering something equally amazing. We will have comedies, animations, action and films that will change the way you think.
And this year, there will be more blocks set aside for children and families because our students and young people are a significant part of our audience and inspiring them is part of the reason we do this.
Bringing films from countries across the globe happens because Cliften Stewart is an extraordinarily talented curator, part of the Art & Algorithms International Curatorium.
See “Room On The Broom” Sunday at Noon: Kid Friendly Film Block with Clifton
This just in: Clifton has secured “Room On The Broom”, which looks like a great kid’s film for Halloween (a little early, but that shouldn’t scare anyone).
Complementing the film program we will be showcasing emerging talent, both at the college level and younger filmmakers…with help from the Telling Your Story program (which premiered at Art & Algorithms 2014) and talented support from students at the University of Central Florida and Coventry University in the UK.
Check the Schedule:
films for each 2 hour block are listed as part of the schedule, all films (except “Moomins on the Riviera”) will be shown at
2nd Stage, 407 South Washington Ave.
Clifton’s picks for 2015.
Clifton says:
The Art and Algorithms film festival returns for another year with a selected programme of new short films from around the world. Once again we have looked for a range of films to entertain, bring wonder, suspense and more than a few belly laughs to our programme.
Among the films to look out for are,
