We love short films! 

  • All official selections are under 30 minutes, and genres range from drama to comedy to animation to documentary to experimental.

  •  We play films from filmmakers of all ages in any part of the world, encouraging teenagers and kids to pursue the art, as well as supporting international filmmakers.

  • If you're wondering why this is an "Afterglow" film fest, it's because we have a spotlight category for "Feel-Good" films and films that "Inspire Positive Change." If you've got a short film that radiates happiness, we can't wait to see it.
