Regarded as a creative hub for the avant-garde, the Aesthetica Short Film Festival (ASFF) is a hotbed for talent discovery and a key annual event for emerging filmmakers to meet alongside eminent personalities from the world of film. Aiming to connect emerging and established filmmakers, the festival attracts those passionate about creating original and compelling short films.
Filmmaker Robert dos Santos has been selected out of thousands of entries to screen Light at this year’s festival.
