Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2010: Call for Submissions
Submission Deadline: 15 Nov 2009

Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia has been officially recognized as an Academy Award® accredited festival and is the only festival that has received this prestigious recognition in Japan. The winner of our Grand Prix award is eligible to receive an Academy Award® nomination the following year.

Short films are one of the most exciting and dynamic components of the film world! Recognized worldwide for their artistic and creative merit, short films are effectively used by young filmmakers throughout the Americas and Europe to launch careers. Though still finding their market and niche in Japan and Asia, the future looks bright for short films. In 1999 the Short Shorts Film Festival (formerly known as the American Short Shorts Film Festival) was established in Harajuku, Tokyo in order to introduce Japanese audiences to the world of short films, and has taken 7 national tours with more than 140,000 audience members. In addition to these national tours, the Short Shorts Film Festival (SSFF) has also taken place in LA, Singapore and Myanmar, and has established itself as a unique, Japanese-born film festival showcased worldwide.
