Synopsis:

Flemish short film is in excellent shape. After Sahim Omar Kalifa's Land of the Heroes won the Jury Award at the Berlin Film Festival, Wannes Destoop preformed a similar stunt with his Swimsuit 46 (photo) that won the Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Film festivals all over the world are in demand for Flemish shorts such as LA Shorts Fest that selected the The Extraordinary Life of Rocky, winner of the Audience Award at the ISFFL '10. No wonder then that the new Selected Shorts DVD, The Best Flemish Shorts 2010 is going to be a real gem. This selection of great Flemish shorts will be one DVD you don't want to miss.
