British film critic Neil Young (not related to Bernard Shakey) began to write about film at the turn of the millennium at the age of twenty-nine. Since then, by means of writing for his website Jigsaw Lounge as well as important film magazines and portals (Sight & Sound, The Hollywood Reporter, IndieWire, Mubi), he has become one of the most influential European film critics. In addition he is a passionate visitor of film festivals (each year he attends at least forty of them) as well as their consultant (Ljubljana’s LIFFE, Vienna’s Viennale).

Film program, which Young has selected for Short Tuesday, presents best films he has seen at international film festivals in the last few years. They are chosen based on the simple principle and meaning of music in them. While music in feature films in film theaters tends to be obtrusive, exaggerated and often underscoring each emotion, experimental, avant-garde and unconventional short films demonstrate what can be achieved with it when it is used in an imaginative, emphatic and cheeky manner. Or as Frank Zappa once said: “Without deviation from the norm progress is not possible”. This program consists of, among others, films by Lewis Klahr, Stephen Broomer and Isabel Pagliai.

The program is hosted by Ivan Ramljak.
