In an age where OTT platforms and cinema theatres are constantly vying for viewership, dealing with dwindling attention spans and changing storytelling formats, movie buffs might find a refreshing alternative in short film screenings that seek to bring the best of both worlds. The Mumbai Short and Documentary Film Festival, a two-day film festival conducted by city-based film community, FilmyBees Cine Club will bring a set of 33 short films, including regional movies, documentaries and international hits from 12 countries to audiences at a suburban venue this weekend.
