 Let's be honest there's fantastic film festivals around the world we all love to attend but for various reasons we cannot attend. One of those festivals here at Cinehouse(& The Peoples Movies) we would love to attend is the Sundance Film Festival which kicked of its 2013 festival just a few days ago but now you can enjoy a little bit of the festival from the comfort of your home.

Sundance received over 100 submissions with 65 films been chosen further evidence of how peoples perceptions for short films have changed over the past few years. Virtually every big film festival now has a short film strand and here at cinehouse we know the quality has been improving, the importance of the films, the passport for up and coming filmmakers to enter into feature films.

I've included a few of those short films below  and had a quick look at them, they are dark and twisted like Guillermo Arriaga's (Babel) Broken Night. Nothing better for a lazy sunday chilling out to films, so hy not short films? After watching the films below you can watch even more heading over to The Screening Room here.

Experience The Realities of War in The WW1 Short "Coward"

Some friends ask me why do continually promote , support short films? My simple answer was to quote Michael Fassbender's line from Prometheus 'Big things have small beginnings' great films, filmmakers all start small developing into either fully fledged films or feature film directors. You could say Short films are like the equivalent of a singer starting at the bottom working there up the ladder of success through the club circuit waiting to be spotted. As technology improves so does the quality of the short film and David Roddham's Coward is an perfect example superb craftsmanship and why we should take time out to enjoy these wonderful films.

Coward is a sentimental throwback to World War One to a sensitive topic among those experienced the atrocities of the war the brutal treatment of the soldiers especially the soldiers with shell shock. We follow 2 Northern Irish soldiers Andrew and James cousins who go to war to serve country and make their families proud. Through their eyes we see the brutal realities of been on the front,tragic tale these young men need a voice someone to tell their story to show they where not cowards.

From the epic cinematography to a solid story line that gives these brave men the respect they always deserves, Coward is one of the best  28 minutes you'll enjoy in 2013.
