Shorts In Season Film Festival is a bold, brilliant showcase of short indie films under 20 minutes, made in Europe or by European filmmakers.

The festival exists because we believe short indie films deserve a proper spotlight, a big screen, and a real audience. Based in Berlin — one of Europe’s most vital creative capitals — we aim for our events to be a place where filmmakers meet, talk, and connect, and where stories come alive before a crowd that truly cares.

After each block, a Q&A discussion with the attending filmmakers will take place. There are also plenty of opportunities to network with other filmmakers and attendees

The showcase is hosted at the intimate and beloved Kinos in Berlin. We seek to partner with venues that support international voices and are driven by an independent spirit.

Our team previously ran the Made In Melbourne Film Festival (2009–2016). As indie filmmakers ourselves, we’re here to support fellow indie voices, build a network, and bring people together around the thing we all love most: powerful, personal, unforgettable short films and storytelling.
