Sowing Seeds of Sustainability: Super Shorts Plants Trees with Treeplan.org

The Super Shorts Film Festival, held in the vibrant cities of New York, Los Angeles, and London, has taken a remarkable step towards environmental stewardship by partnering with Treeplan.org to plant an impressive 900 trees. This initiative not only underscores the festival's commitment to sustainability but also paves the way for a greener and more eco-conscious future.



Rebuilding Forests, One Tree at a Time


Forests are essential to life on Earth. Trees capture carbon dioxide, produce oxygen, and provide shelter for countless species. Depending on the size and type, a single mature tree can generate enough oxygen for up to 18 people. Unfortunately, deforestation continues at an alarming rate, with humanity destroying 18 million acres of forest annually.


To counteract this loss, Super Shorts Film Festival (NY, LA & London) has chosen to take action. By planting 900 trees through Treeplan.org, they are contributing to reforestation efforts that help restore ecosystems, combat climate change, and promote biodiversity.


About Super Shorts Film Festival


Talent Circle in London founded the Super Shorts International Film Festival in 2003, to focus explicitly on short films in all its forms and shapes. During its original eleven year run, the festival shown over 2,000 incredible short films, from slick 35mm shorts to weird and wonderful experimental films. Super Shorts held over 120 events, including seminars, panel discussions and workshops. This resulted in rave reviews: ”The best short films from around the world“ Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series) “The best in short cinema from around the world“ Timeout London “The world's best new shorts” Metro newspaper

​

In 2010 Chris Jones became one of the leading names of the festival. Chris Jones is a filmmaker and author of the internationally bestselling "Guerilla Film Makers Handbook" series. In 2009 his short film 'Gone Fishing' was Oscar shortlisted, won the prestigious Producers Guild of America's Best Short Film and collected over 40 international awards.

​

Unfortunately, in its original incarnation, the festival came to an end in 2014. Inspired by that original movement, the Super Shorts London Film Festival was revived in 2018, and continued to emphasize lesser known, vanguard cinematic works and further its tradition of galvanizing budding talent. Although the 2018 edition was modest in approach it proved that the Super Shorts LondonFilm Festival was still very much relevant, and had the potential to grow. In 2019, the festival moved to the Stephen Street location of the BFI (British Film Institute), which will remain its screening base.

​

In 2020, under the wings of Cinematory LLC, Super Shorts Film Festival brought to life two new festivals at new exciting locations: Super Shorts New York and Super Shorts Los Angeles.

 

Super Shorts Film Festival creates an intimate atmosphere and space for unique visionaries and voices. True to their history, the different festivals will screen films of both novices and veterans—with medium and low budgets—from all over the globe. Super Shorts Film Festival's goal is to create a warm, open atmosphere in which filmmakers, fans, critics, and producers can watch the films of emerging talents, explore new cinematic techniques and styles, and award cinematic excellence.
