FROM THE DIRECTORS DESK

The 2024 Canberra Short Film Festival is almost here! The festival team and judges have been working hard all year to bring you another glittering spectacular feast of short, independent cinema.

​

We had just under 800 submissions this year from which we are able to bring to screen almost 300 short films, animations and music videos in 22 separate screenings. Another difficult year for the judges to make their selections.

 

All our usual favorite screenings are back of course;

Comedy, Thrills & Chills, The Politics of Gender & Sexuality, Documentaries, Women’s Business, Experimental Film and the Canberra Showcase.

 

This year we are introducing some exciting new sessions as well; After Dark for the mature viewer, Migrant Stories, an International Showcase, and a National showcase.

 

There are also filmmaker network events, panels, a screen industry forum, plenty of Q & A’s and of course a Gala Opening and Awards evening after party.

 

This year we have introduced a festival pass too, making it more economical for you to immerse yourself in the fun.

​

See you there.
