When we put together the international program, we were thinking about spanning the globe that everyone was missing travelling. We saw other films that made us think about a program specifically about music and dance and art-that was something the audience was missing. For example, the “Art and Soul” program (the music documentary shorts) was anchored by the short, Blondie: Vivir En La Habana. We really considered what people were missing, and that became the basis for the programs. Sharon Badal: We spent a lot of time thinking about the festival this year, in particular about our audience and the fact that we were going to screen in person. MovieJawn: What observations do you have about this year’s crop of shorts? Shorts curator Sharon Badal, who programs with her colleague, Ben Thompson, chatted with MovieJawn about this year’s short film selections. This year’s Tribeca Film Festival, which just ended, received more than 6,000 short film entries that were whittled down to 46 selections from 20 countries.
