Two Australian shorts have been selected for the Sapporo International Short Film Festival in Japan. Besides The Ballad of Betty and Joe, My Rabit Hoppy is adding to the loopy charm.
The Ballad of Betty and Joe (Dir: Martha Ansara) continues its festival circuit as one of twenty-two short fiction films screening at the Sapporo International Short Film Festival, in early October. This year, two Australian films were selected for this prestigious Japanese showcase, the other being the Cannes-screener My Rabit Hoppy (Dir: Anthony Lucas). Sapporo, a festival associated with Europe’s Clermont-Ferrand, receives several thousand entries from around the world, from which 55 animations, documentaries and fiction shorts are presented to an international jury and to very large audiences.
