We are thrilled to announce the finalists and semi-finalists for this year’s Very Short Film Festival! Before we dive in, we just have to say – the calibre of films we received this year was outstanding! We’ve been blown away by the incredible talent and creativity that’s out there.
Choosing our top ten finalists was no easy feat. The Judges watched and re-watched so many films… We’re thrilled to let you know that the People’s Choice award will not only include the finalists, but also the semifinalists.
We recognise that choosing just a few films was a difficult task and we wanted to ensure that more filmmakers have a chance to be recognised. So you too will have your opportunity to cast your vote. Your opinion matters to us, and we can’t wait to see which films you choose.
Drum roll…. and now for the finalists… (listed alphabetically)
