It was the little film festival that could. Twenty years ago film lovers Katrin Hagen, Kate Nicholson, Gina Dellabarca, and Tamara Liebman sought to create a way for New Zealand's short films to be seen more easily.

It's grown from that three-night screening at Auckland's Academy Theatre back in 2006 to an Academy Award and BAFTA-accredited festival that shows in 35 cinemas nationwide and has launched any numbers of film industry careers.
Show Me Shorts' 20th anniversary festival got underway this week - to talk about what's on offer - as well as its incredible journey - festival director Gina Dellabarca joins me from the Auckland studio.
