The 2013 festival took place on 6 October at the New Diorama Theatre, 15–16 Triton Street, London NW1. The organisers raised part of the budget through a Kickstarter campaign, which reflects how independent the festival was.

The panel: where does short film end?

Alongside the screenings, Greenhorn hosted a panel on the crossover between short film and artist moving image. The questions were ones that every short filmmaker meets sooner or later:

  • What defines a short film, and at what point does it become experimental film or artist moving image?
  • Is there a real threshold between an art film and a short film?
  • What is the difference between experimenting with film and setting out to make an experimental film?
  • How does the place where a film is shown change the way people watch it?
  • What influence has expanded cinema had?

The panel was chaired by director and producer Michael Houldey. The panellists were:

  • Fiona Curran, sonic artist and lecturer at Kingston University
  • Maggie Ellis, head of Film London’s Artists’ Moving Image Network
  • Lucy Reynolds, writer, artist and curator
  • Jo Shallow, producer and programmer at onedotzero

These questions still matter if you are deciding where to send a film. Our guide to choosing the right festivals looks at how to match a film to the right kind of programme.
