Shorts Attack in September 2022

8 films in 85 minutes

Shorts Attack’s ROADMOVIES are racing through September: with women’s power escaping from the film set, in car love in the direction of the junkyard, full of love of order in the countryside, and in a wild hit-and-run to the edge of town. Top speeds are broken, accidents are reflected, 80s hits are rediscovered, and at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, the gas station attendant calls for a duel.

The program:
