In what promises to be a weekend packed with award-winning films from around the world, The Bioscope independent cinema presents the best films from the 2016 International Oberhausen Short Film Festival. The festival is screened in two programmes; the 2016 Award Winners Programme and the Artist Film Programme. <br /> <br /> The Award Winners Programme shines the spotlight on the main winners of the 2016 Oberhausen Short Film Festival. Highlights include Louise Carrin’s candid documentary <em>Venusia</em>, which gave audiences the chance to observe and listen to an intimate conversation between the owner of a luxury brothel and an untalented prostitute, and Lav Diaz’s gripping sci-fi film with a political angle, <em>The Day Before The End</em>, set in 2050 in The Philippines. The Artist Film Programme features six works created by filmmakers and artists that grant unusual glimpses into the state of international art today.
