World Shorts : Programme 4, Sinister Shorts
Sat 09 July / Pálás 2 / 22:00 / 16+
Our Sinister Shorts are a mix of folk, supernatural and psychological horror, all covering the same theme of an unseen monster. With films more ghostly than gory, we have carefully created a selection that has been previously screened at Cannes, SXSW and Tribeca. Now, we are delighted to host the European & Irish Premieres of these Sinister Shorts.
