Play the Fool Short Film Competition

The first Play the Fool Festival Short Film Competition invited filmmakers, clowns, and physical comedians to submit their short films, maximum length 2-minutes. 

Our independent jury of experts laughed, giggled, and goggled their way through the submissions. They selected 6 prize-winning films, 2 jury mentions, and another 13 of their favourites to screen here as a part of Fool Around Online 2020.
