Australian short films will have a strong presence at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival, with four films selected to screen in the Generation program, a section devoted to children and young people.
The films selected will include the world premiere of The Amber Amulet, the story of a superhero, a beagle, an amulet made of amber, and the potential that is locked inside all of us. The film is directed by Matthew Moore and co-written by Matthew Moore and Genevieve Hegney adapted from the novel Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey. This will be Matthew Moore’s second short film screening at Berlinale, after Julian won the Crystal Bear Award for Best Short Film in Generation Kplus at the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival.
