RAFFA nominees’ short films will be on the Old School big screen starting Thursday, November 10 – entry by koha.

The nominated short films range from bird watching, music videos, painting in nature and creative Tik Toks to a teen struggling with Tourettes, the art of drumming, words staining skin and more.

After the last couple of years hampered by Covid interruptions, RAFFA spokesperson Karla Rix-Trott says the film festival team is thrilled with the standard and number of entries.

“In 2020 we cancelled the film festival and last year we ran it virtually, so it’s really pleasing to see there is still enthusiasm for the local filmmaking.”
