Vent, a new art space in downtown Cairo, is hosting the winter edition of the global Future Shorts Film Festival for two days this month, 23 and 24 February.

The festival, which captured the attention of Egyptian culture fans since it first came to Cairo in winter 2012, is a cross-cultural initiative that now takes place simultaneously in approximately 325 cities in 90 countries worldwide. 

Usually held in warehouses, galleries, theatres and a number of other cultural locations, the screenings showcase a standardised programme of short films with local music and art in the background.

This Cairo edition will feature six films, from: France (That I'm Falling and Blind Spot), Poland (Out of Reach), Serbia (Rabbitland), Finland (The Date) and Afghanistan (Buzkashi Boys).
