Following the success of the CINEMA16: British Short Films DVD, featuring Chris Nolan, Ridley Scott, Mike Leigh, Stephen Daldry, Lynne Ramsay, Peter Greenway and others, Cinema16 is now set to release a selection of the best classic and award winning European shorts across Europe on June 14th. CINEMA16: European Short Films offers the opportunity to see the fascinating early work from some of Europe's greatest directors alongside award winning films from its most exciting new filmmakers. It includes previously unseen graduation films from Lars Von Trier ("Dogville"), and Krzysztof Kieslowski ("Three Colours Trilogy"); early shorts from Jean-Luc Godard ("A Bout de Souffle"), Lukas Moodysson ("Together"), Nanni Moretti ("The Son's Room"), Jan Kounen ("Dobermann"), Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run"), Peter Mullan ("The Magdalene Sisters") Javier Fesser ("Mortadelo and Filemon"), and Roy Andersson ("Songs from the Second Floor");  award winning films including Anders Thomas Jensen's Oscar winner "Election Night", Juan Solanas' Cannes Jury Prize winner "The Man Without a Head", Chris Morris's BAFTA winning "My Wrongs", Virgil Widrich's Oscar nominated "Copy Shop" and Jan Svankmajer's classic "Jabberwocky". All of the films are accompanied by commentaries, many given by the directors themselves. With over three and a half hours of films (and another three and a half hours of commentaries) CINEMA16: European Short Films is essential viewing for anyone with an interest in the moving image.  Like the British edition it's expected to become one of the most collectable and unique DVDs on the market. Cinema16 celebrates the launch of the European edition with screenings of selected films from the new release at the ICA on June 8th at 6.30pm and at BAFTA (in association with Shooting People and Dazed & Confused) on June 10th at 7.00pm (free to BAFTA and full Shooting People members).
