VERY VERY SHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2019

I think it’s very very funny that a very very long person has won at the Very Very Short Film Festival by Landjäger Magazin.
Being awarded 1st place by the jury and 2nd by the cinema’s audience, a movie won for the first time ever in both categories.

“Movies of few seconds are often small jokes. This one is one you have never seen before. And the emphasis is on: seen. Because his idea is based on seeing, on a thoroughly visual concept, that carries it out cleverly and then ends in an intelligent twist. The film doesn't need words, which is always a good sign, because that's what cinema at its best can do: to tell a story in pictures and to entertain us wordlessly. Congratulations to the – in two senses – ‘great’ Robert Wagenlechner for ‘Konichiwa’.”
