--- We are currently accepting submissions for our 2021 edition! ---
Sydney Short Film Festival is an independent film festival that puts the spotlight on short films – a category that unfortunately doesn’t get the mainstream attention it deserves. We accept submissions from around the world and encourage you to take the trip down-under to celebrate with your film and contribution with us.
Our judging panel consists of experienced filmmakers who themselves have gone through the same path of creating and maintaining a film production.
Our 3rd edition will take place on February, 2021 and will be followed by an Awards Ceremony and networking event.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact us and we will try to respond as soon as possible.
