We are hugely excited to have an international online short film competition! We are looking for original, engaging films and especially want to celebrate filmmakers working with minimal resources. The competition has 4 editions a year, so if you miss a deadline, be sure to submit to the next!

For each edition of the competition, the best films will be promoted on our YouTube channel. Of these 'officially selected' films, there will be 1 winner in each category. The winning filmmakers will be interviewed about their work on our YouTube channel, if they are comfortable with this. This is a competition, not a festival, so the films will not be screened in their entirety. But we hope to draw attention to new and exciting films! We will respect filmmakers' wishes for their work to remain private.
