SHORT FILM FESTIVAL SHORTS & ASIA

This year Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (SSFF & ASIA), a qualifying film festival for the annual Academy Awards® and one of Asia’s largest international short film festivals, will be held in Tokyo (5 venues) and Yokohama (1 venue) from 4 June (Thu) through 14 June (Sun). Nearly 5,000 films from over 100 countries and regions around the world were in the running, with the cream of the crop — some 200 titles — being selected to screen at the festival.
This year marks the first year that the festival will kick off on Short Film Day (4 June). We will be continuing to hold free admission screenings such as those that were widely praised last year, with exception of a few paid admission events. We hope that in doing this even more people can come and take pleasure in short film!
