Independent Short
Films in Stockholm
An evening of independent short films from all around the world. A fun and culturally diverse night of indie cinema for filmmakers and cinephiles alike.
Support & promote independent shorts.
Our festival was founded to support and promote independent short films from all around the world. We recognize how difficult it is to get your short film 'out there', and find a platform where your film can reach the right audience.
Our program reflects the diversity within the short film genre — films the audience would otherwise have not seen, and leave a lasting impact.
1st Edition — Now Open
We look forward to seeing your submissions and welcoming you to Stockholm Short Film Festival!

Loved by filmmakers.
★ 5.0 FilmFreewayThank you for the attention given to my short film Christelle and I am very happy to have received the award for Best Student Short. It is an honor. Thank you, great festival!
Such a wonderful festival. We enjoyed being a part of it. What a blessing to receive Best Female Director and Best Trailer.
Thank you for awarding my new, unproduced short script as Semi-Finalist. "A WOMAN DISAPPEARED" has won awards in six Festivals — this message is resonating across cultures.
Siempre estar en un festival es hermoso, no lo hice de forma presencial, pero que me dieran la oportunidad fue GENIAL.
Thank you so much for selecting my fantasy Short, much appreciated.
