Short Short Story Film Festival ()

영화제 시작: 25 11월 2023      영화제 끝: 25 11월 2023

The Short Short Story Film Festival is a competitive international festival of films that tell a story in under six minutes.

For 2023, the 16th edition of the festival continues back with live audiences. The festival celebrates brevity in filmmaking, with films from across the globe, both live-action and animated.

Two programs, Heartstrings and Headtrip, both showcase dozens of films tightly sequenced in under ninety minutes, each with a distinctive tone yet wide-ranging styles and topics.

Each program of the festival, Heartstrings and the Headtrip, has an audience award. Those attending at the various festival screenings select their three favorite films from each program. The films with the highest cumulative total from all screenings is the award winner.

For each of the two programs, a jury panel consisting of guests from our film interview program Spoiler Alert Radio will review and select their favorites.

Submission Requirements

There is no fee to submit a film for consideration.

The length of the film including all credits must be at least 1 minute (1:00:00) and shorter than 6 minutes (5:59:xx).

Whether a piece is truly narrative is at the discretion of the submission review panel.
