'Online is where it's at for shorts!' The announcement of the first Short List Film Festival is made in loud terms. That does not alter the fact that it is an idea that is as simple as it is brilliant: an online competition with winners of short film competitions from leading festivals, such as Sundance, South by Southwest (SXSW) and Venice. Although there are also lesser gods among them: who has ever heard of the Nantucket or Sydney Film Festival?
