About

Sydney Short Film Festival is an independent film festival that focuses on putting the spotlight on short films — a category that unfortunately doesn’t get the mainstream attention it deserves. The festival attracts in particular classical and cult movies that goes well with its art deco cinema from the 1940s. Although this is an Australian film festival, it does accept submissions from around the world and encourages you to take the trip down-under to celebrate with your film.
