JOIN OUR PROGRAMMING TEAM FOR INSHORT FILM FESTIVAL 2019! 


ABOUT INSHORTFF:

InShort Film Festival is a volunteer-run organisation that host events showcasing the best cinematic excellence in short form from around the world. Beginning in 2014, we have watched thousands of films from all over the world. For the upcoming edition of the festival, we have already received submissions from over 80 different countries. InShortFF is showcasing productions that are international, inclusive and independent (just like #InShortFF itself).

We have eclectic tastes and get excited by broadening people’s horizons, but host screenings outside of festival time with specific focuses, such as animation, F-Rated films, and lgbtiqa+ cinema. Whatever excites us.
