International Short Film Competition

The ShortList

A platform that celebrates the art of short filmmaking. Our primary aim is to provide opportunities for as many filmmakers as possible to take part and showcase their work. To achieve this, we have carefully designed a fee structure that aims to be accessible. So that financial constraints are minimized.

If you make the ShortList, you’ll have done so for less than the cost of a lunch. You’ll be able to take those bragging rights and leverage them towards making your next project. Short filmmaking is all about building momentum.

Together, let's celebrate the power of storytelling in its most concise and compelling form.

Results will be announced February 15, 2025.
