SLOW TRAVEL BERLIN
British Shorts Film Festival, across the city, until 14 January

If it seems as though there is always one film festival or another taking place in Berlin, that’s probably because there is. With no shortage (pun intended) of creatives, and a diverse international background, Berlin is something of a breeding ground for art appreciation.

Returning for its sixth year, the British Shorts festival is a five-day event committed to screening the newest and the best animations, documentaries, comedies, and more from Britain.

But the festival is about more than just film, with workshops for filmmakers, an exhibition of photos and drawings for fans, and a handful of concerts and DJ-sets for the musically minded. Natalye Childress
