Flatpack 8 Competition Winners

It was another stellar year for shorts; the standard gets better every Flatpack, and although it was a mighty hard job singling out a selection of the best, here's what we, you, and our judges deemed the crème de la crème. The films that took home this year's oversized allen keys are:

Hannes Vartiainen & Pekka Veikkolainen)"...a chilling film which stayed with me.  Cleverly mixing documentary recording with abstract imagery, the film shows how fragile humankind is." Will Anderson
