PROGRAMME: SHNIT film festival's Cairo playground
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 02 - 10 - 2016

SHNIT International Short film festival will be back in Cairo between 5 and 9 October for the fifth year in a row.
SHNIT will be taking place simultaneously in Bern, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Hong Kong, Moscow and San José.
Over the course of five days, a vibrant programme of film screenings and diverse interactive events will be held at several venues across Cairo -- The AUC Greek Campus, The Swiss Club, Zawya cinema, IRC of the US Embassy, The Netherland-Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC), CSA in Maadi, and ZigZag.
The fourteen-year-old SHNIT festival was launched in 2003 in Switzerland and went international in 2008. The festival aims is to highlight short film productions as an independent art form across the globe.
The Cairo festival has announced that the award winning Dry Hot Summers will be one of the Egyptian films screening in the Made in Egypt section.
The other film categories include the Best of 2015, Feel Good, Crossing Borders, Shnit Animates, Shnit Documents, Swiss Made, Little & Short, and International.
SHNIT REALTIME -- a competition for local filmmakers to write a script, shoot, edit and fully create a short film in three days -- will be one of the festival's features.
Participating teams will be given five options of genres and three mandatory elements to include in their short film. The completed films will be screened and juried at the closing night of the festival. The winner will be awarded with EGP 15,000.
This year edition of SHNIT introduces the UBER treasure hunt, inviting participants to look for clues within the short films and find the treasure in Cairo by cruising with Uber's services.
Festival attendees could also enjoy TALKINGshnit, a programme of panel discussions and master classes, ReelFOOD, a picnic and movie event highlighting innovative new vendors and restaurants in Cairo.
SHNIT's website also says the festival will feature PITCH4CHANGE, a day bringing together "local film and media makers with local foundations and international NGOs, Corporate CSR officers, campaigners, philanthropists, policymakers, brands and media around leading social and environmental issues."
The closing night and after party will take place at the Greek Campus on 9 October.
