These short films demonstrate the charm of Tokyo. Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia is an Academy Award-accredited festival. This means 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. This year's fest takes place June 11-21. We are coming up on the festival's opening, but shorts in the Cinematic Tokyo category are already streaming online. Founded in 2017, the Cinematic Tokyo program showcases short films that share the various charms of Tokyo. Check out the lineup below! Read More...
