Somewhat disappointing selection of short films. None of them were terrible, but none really stood out either. The most entertaining one came from Germany, starting out as a (pretend) documentary, escalating in a full scale zombie splatter fest: Arbeit für alle.

How do you rate Fantastic Shorts? Trick question ain't it? There are various shorts movies you see. Some you like, other you don't. How to review a shorts? Were there short movies I did not like? Nah, not really. The most of them I did like. I like creativity. Le's review a few
