Palm Springs International ShortFest
Now in its 17th year, the Palm Springs International ShortFest will showcase over 320 short films from more than 40 countries, with a library of more than 2,700 films available to film buyers, industry and press in its concurrent Short Film Market, the largest of its kind in America.
Festival events include nightly receptions, as well as seminars, master classes and scheduled ‘one-on-one’ meetings with industry experts and filmmaking professionals, free to all filmmakers who participate in the Festival.
Sanctioned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 80 short films featured at the event have gone on to garner Academy Award nominations, including 5 of this year’s nominees.
The Festival offers twenty awards in six competitive categories (including student and non-student work), with cash awards or film production prizes in each category (over $100,000 worth of prizes, in all).
