The Apocalypse

Mike Plante, Short Film Programmer

As part of our upcoming NEXT WEEKEND film festival in Los Angeles, we have programmed a fantastic shorts lineup consisting of 10 shorts that we played at the Sundance Film Festival in January, presented by YouTube. The NEXT section of the festival champions feature films with bold filmmaking style using innovative ways to tell stories. Short films fit perfectly within this adventurous realm of cinema Rather than be limited by a short run time, the filmmakers in the NEXT Shorts Program use the short format as motivation to craft something special with a personal vision. We currently have three of the shorts in the program available online to give you a taste of the show. With fiction, documentary and animation, this lineup is a wild world of stories. Ride the range of emotions in the program: the thought-provoking and visually stunning Until The Quiet Comes, the romantic What Do We Have In Our Pockets?, and out-and-out bombastic fun with The Apocalypse. These films are amazing on the big screen with booming sound and striking visuals, along with seven more shorts for a fun 100-minute show. Tickets available now.
