The annual Kinemastik International Short Film Festival is being held over two days in an open-air venue overlooking the Valletta harbour this weekend.

Kinemastik collaborates with international festivals and filmmakers to bring to Malta a selection of films and directors. The  festival is now in its 13th year.

The cultural NGO based on Malta is responsible for a year-round programme of film screenings, concerts, exhibitions, workshops, talks and short film productions. It links young film-makers to the world of cinema and provides them with a platform for their work, through local screenings as well as through worldwide distribution of locally produced works.

The film festival is being held today and tomorrow at 9pm at the Garden of Rest, Floriana. Tickets will be available at the door. For more information, visit www.kinemastik.org.
