Let me be honest - as someone who’s never been to one of the ShortsUP short film picnics, I approached this year’s online edition without having any expectations. The verdict? A very pleasant surprise due to a selection which – should we give credit to the organizers – began by rounding up intense films from the very start, specially prepared for those who have missed the festival season. And especially for the youths, if I were to say so, when I take a look at the various stories that I quickly went through in less than two hours, most of them approaching various moods and transitional existential thresholds, which surround big changes. Stopping for breath and thinking that I fit the above age gap pretty well, I went along with it and selected four ShortsUP shorts that are a perfect fit for my cinephile diary.
