In the organizer's words:

Five short stories by five authors

Look forward to high-quality literary short stories in a relaxed atmosphere - where the greats of the movie world usually flicker across the screen!

Short story is the English term for short story - a special literary form whose main characteristic is that it can be read in one sitting. Emerging with the magazine boom of the 19th century, the short story has since established itself as a narrative form and, due to its brevity, offered many famous authors the opportunity for literary experimentation.
