This year's lineup promises to be special. Are you ready for some amazing short films? It's time again for Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia! This festival is an Academy Award-accredited festival, meaning the winner of the best short awards in the competition, as well as the non-fiction competition, is eligible for nomination in the short film categories of the Academy Awards the next year. The festival was founded in 1999 as the Short Shorts Film Festival (SSFF). In 2004, SSFF added a program for Asian short films and established Short Shorts Film Festival Asia with the support of the Governor of Tokyo. Now, the combination of the two festivals takes place annually in Tokyo as Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia, one of the largest short film festivals in Asia. It's happening now, from Thursday, April 28, to Thursday, June 30, 2022. We're big fans of this festival because of all the eyes it gets on the films that compete. Some of the Emerging Japanese Filmmakers have their shorts available now online. Read More...
