RSSF2012: DN Picks
Yes, we admit that previous DN attempts to select award winners could be at best described as checkered, and looking at the official finalists list we already know some of our picks are out of the running, but we’re nothing if not confident in our filmic tastes and so here are DN’s category favourites for [...]
RSSF2012: The Documentary Award
We pick out three films from the Documentary Award in a final look at this year’s Rushes Soho Shorts; featuring a 30+ year long vigil in the face of oppression, a man who decides to take on responsibility without power and the very personal accounts of women who don’t feel they meet society’s standards of [...]
RSSF2012: The Animation Award
With last year’s shortlist revealing Mickey Please’s extraordinary BAFTA winning stop motion The Eagleman Stag upon my bewildered eyes for the first time, as well as introducing us to A Morning Stroll by Grant Orchard, I was once again expecting big things from the Animation Award nominees. I’m happy to report that this year’s shortlist [...]
RSSF2012: The Long Form Award
More space to spread your directorial wings, but all the time in the world to fall flat on your face, Rushes Soho Shorts’ Long Form Award is the place for live action, fictional work up to 30 minutes in length and it’s where we found a film about saying goodbye, a failing father and a [...]

RSSF2012: The Music Video Award
While last year’s Rushes Soho Shorts Music Video selection threw up a nice mix of impressive promos, this year I’ve had a hell of a time selecting only three favourites from the many quality offerings. In the end a prostitute, a serial killer and a storm at sea earned their places amongst my picks. Spiritualized: [...]
RSSF2012: The Short Film Award
Featuring films no longer than 15 minutes, from established UK directors, the Short Film category at this year’s Rushes Soho Shorts festival featured a powerful and entertaining array of fictional shorts. The three highlights of 2012 included a well-written robbery, a dark comedy from an established musician/director and surprisingly a fashion film commissioned for Mulberry. [...]
RSSF2012: The Newcomer Award
When I covered the Newcomer category last year I marvelled at the opportunity it provided for short film veterans to discover new filmmaking voices who were yet to appear on their radars. This year I have to admit that two-thirds of my picks have already found their way onto DN, guess our radar’s got more [...]
RSSF2012: The Pushing Boundaries Award
Rushes Soho Shorts’ Pushing Boundaries category features films with innovative ideas that test the filmakers’ creative borders, as well as audience expectations. Populated with adverts for well-known brands and experimental pieces, the shortlist contains a few standout films that may already be familiar to regular DN visitors.
