In the organizer's words:

Chris Allen is coming to Essen - the head of the Sunderland Shorts Film Festival from Essen's British twin city of Sunderland. His festival is one of the most important short film addresses in Great Britain: boldly curated, independent. Exactly the kind of partner that suits Snowdance.

Chris Allen's visit shows how international Snowdance has become - festivals that pass the ball to each other, films that ignore borders and people who share the same passion.

In one of our short film series, Chris brings a selection of his strongest films. Different, edgy, unique - and guaranteed to be "very British".
