KORT! is celebrating its tenth anniversary. On Saturday, September 25, the NTR will broadcast The Long Night of the Short Film live. Hosted by Isolde Hallensleben, nearly nine hours will be dedicated to the popularity and diversity of the short film: from YouTube videos and catchy virals to dance films, and from Microfilms to One Take films. Isolde will discuss this with a number of guests, including director Martin Koolhoven, who will show their favorite films.

Via www.dekortefilm.nl, Twitter, and Facebook, viewers have an important say in shaping the evening. They are asked to submit their own films—including a version of Koolhoven's feature film *Oorlogswinter in 60 secondes*—and to vote for their favorite films. The two-hour live program is followed at approximately 1:15 AM by a selection of short films until 8:00 AM the following morning.

Some program items The Long Night of the Short Film:

Done in 60 seconds: War Winter
Viewers are asked to reduce Martin Koolhoven's feature film *Oorlogswinter* to a 60-second short film. The best entries will be screened in *De lange nacht van de korte film* and accompanied by commentary from Koolhoven himself.

One Take Competition
Viewers can also make films themselves with their mobile phones. These short mobile videos of a maximum of two minutes must be recorded in one take.

Upload Cinema
Upload Cinema has compiled a list of 100 short YouTube films especially for this evening. Viewers can vote starting Friday, September 3, and the ten films with the most votes will be shown on television.

The very best of KORT!
10 Years of KORT! stands for 100 short films of 10 minutes. The last ten of these one hundred KORT! films will premiere at the upcoming Netherlands Film Festival. A professional jury will select the ten best KORT! films from these 100. These will be broadcast during The Long Night of the Short Film between 2:00 and 4:00 AM and will be available to watch online until 10:00 AM the following morning.

10 years SHORT!
The NTR celebrates 10 years of KORT! in the last week of September. The annual program of 10 short films of 10 minutes each turns ten this year, and this is being celebrated – alongside The Long Night of the Short Film – with a festive premiere at the Netherlands Film Festival and the launch of a DVD box set containing all 100 films made in ten years of KORT!
