VIRO
- Instant Film Fix
Inject ideas and entertainment into your in-box with viral films.
Short, sharp and consumed instantly by email, these viral
films provide the perfect release from the daily grind.
Established filmmakers from across a range of disciplines
were invited to pitch ideas for micro-films of a 1MB file
size and ultra short duration.
6 VIROS based on the theme of RELEASE were commissioned
by FilmFour Lab and the Film Council New Cinema Fund.
Available on selected release, the films are accessible
to download and send as email attachments.
We've also got tips on how to help you make
your own VIRO and a brief
history of the genre.
