The British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies (BAFTSS)

and Moving Images invite scholars, researchers, screenwriters, 
filmmakers, and artists to participate in the joint


Conference-Festival entitled: /Times In-Between: Barriers, Borders and 
Boundaries in Short Film Forms/,


to be held with the support and collaboration of the historical city of 
Gorizia (Italy), a symbol of the division created by the Iron Curtain in 
its Transalpina Square – once divided by a border between Italy and 
Yugoslavia (1947-1991). The Conference Organizer will organize a visit 
to the historical border and the nearby city of Nova Gorica (Slovenia).


This event aims to be a collaborative platform for exchanging insights, 
research findings, and opinions on the short film form in the fields of 
animation and moving images (fiction, essay film, and non-fiction) in 
all the classical and innovative short film forms.


The Short Film Festival Theme, “Breaking the Boundaries, Borders, and 
Barriers in Animation and Moving Images,” invites the submission of a 
short film (not longer than 12 minutes) with a particular category of 
super shorts (no longer than 4 minutes). The best shorts in each 
category will be awarded.


The three-day conference, “A Conversation about and Beyond Barriers, 
Borders and Boundaries in Different Short Film Forms,” encourages a 
broad exploration with a focus on Animation and Moving Images in PART 
ONE: “Animation and Moving Image: Short Film at the Borders”; and an 
emphasis on the short Essay Film Form in PART TWO: “Barrier, Borders and 
Boundaries in the Essay Film Form.”
