Emerging filmmakers presented their work on this highly respected, cutting-edge stage. The short films were screened inside a special installation created by Giorgio Armani in downtown Austin. The premiere was followed by a panel discussion moderated by fashion critic and curator Angelo Flaccavento, with the participation of Dev Patel, “Slumdog Millionaire” star and winner of a BAFTA Award as this edition’s mentor in supporting students from around the world.
