We celebrate short films of all kinds! Now in its 24th year, the Extremely Shorts Film Festival is a juried competition of all genres of short films and videos (3 minutes or less) from around the world.
Extremely Shorts is organized by Houston media arts organization Aurora Picture Show, and juried by guest artists, filmmakers, and curators. Each year, 20-25 short works are selected to screen at the two-day festival, held in late-May. The short format of the festival encourages innovative approaches to filmmaking in a range of genres including narrative, experimental, documentary, and animation.
This festival will be presented both online and in-person.
This year's juror is Adam Piron. Adam Piron (Kiowa & Mohawk) is a member of the Sundance Film Festival’s Short Film programming team. He has also programmed films for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), AFI Fest and Film Independent's LA Film Festival. From 2014 to 2017, he served as a Manager for Sundance Institute's Native American and Indigenous Film Program.
