Having just won the international competition at Toronto's Worldwide Film Festival with his Cinema Extreme short Soft, Simon Ellis recently attended Hamburg Short Film Festival with the same film, and two others. A regular visitor to Hamburg since winning the Audience Award there in 2001, this time he took a camera with him and attempted to capture the unique atmosphere of this important German festival.
