    Any ideas if they are subtitled in English?

    There was no publicity for this what so ever! I dont know why they dont put up websites for events like these! Sometimes you need that to get some information out and publicity going!

    I agree with Marzouq….I was like “What? A film festival?”.
    You never ever hear about these things here in Kuwait. Publicity for events like this is absolutely terrible! Do they even know about the concept of publicity??? Man, it really gets to me!

    Its only thanks to Mark that we even have a chance to hear about these things…Thanks, dude!

    Mark, didnt you go for it?

    Actually, it isn’t Kuwait’s first short film fest. I think it is its 3rd or 4th. There’ve been a succession of them already, thanks to the Cinemagic program, which has realy pushed independent film in Kuwait.
