Short film festivals are normally held annually worldwide. From independent filmmakers to established studios, they all gather together to celebrate short film and award the shorts that have managed to amaze the judges and the audiences. They are a way for aspiring filmmakers to gain recognition in the film industry and show off their work.
Many short film festivals started off small scale, created by independent filmmakers wanting somewhere to showcase their work. For example Shane Meadows created ‘the short film festival ‘Six of the best’ because there was nowhere for him and others to exhibit their short films. Over the years film festivals have grown into the acclaimed events that they are today.
Depending on the festival, the requirements for entry can be different. The amount of films shown and the number of awards can vary but in general the common awards at all of the festivals are:
- Best short film
- Audience favourite
- Best Director
- Best script
