Short Film Conference

Arriving at a shortlist of films is tough—short films being a wonderfully diverse medium means a wide-ranging selection of films. But through the efforts of the members, a shortlist is duly arrived at from which we can derive the winner.

The SFC Short of The Year is truly a unique award, as it comes from those who live and breathe short film on a daily basis. The festivals that screen them, highlighting talents from all corners of the globe and showcasing shorts to audiences across the world. The distributors and sales agents who push short films into the world and connect them to a new sphere of viewers. The journalists who write about them, contextualise them and keep the debate going around all that shorts tell us about the state of cinema and the state of the world. What unites us all is a passion for the medium of short films and the filmmakers who bring them into the world.

The SFC hopes that this screening of previous SFC Short of the Year winners will allow you to share in our passion. With films that move and inspire, they prove why shorts remain so vital and important.
