Both "Yes Darling, Of Course I am Doing O.K." and "The Shape of a Feeling" have been selected by Short Way International Film Festival (Brazil), while "The Magic Lamp" has been selected by the Moscerine Film Festival (Rome).

A project from Luca Acito (Italy), a SIFFY filmmaker. When he's not at SIFFY, he's doing lots of other film projects. This video is the result of a filmmaking workshop with teenagers from the island of Lesbos. Take a moment to watch!

We're so proud! Not one, but TWO of our films garnered attention this week. "Yes, Darling, Of Course I am Doing O.K." moved into a Nominee award for the Couch Film Festival (an IMDB-eligible award/festival; Toronto). Next, The Importance of Imperfection was selected to be shown at Madame ZuZus Int'l Short Film Festival (created by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and Fashion designer Chloe Mendel; Highland Park, IL, US). Congratulations to these teams of kids as well as their mentors, and to everyone who supports SIFFY! We couldn't do it without you. www.skopelossiffy.com
