Short Short Story Film Festival

The Concept

How do filmmakers tell a story in less than five minutes?

Not just trailers, music videos, or experimental projects, but honest-to-goodness beginning-middle-end stories?

The Short Short Story Film Festival celebrates brevity in filmmaking, featuring films from across the globe, lovingly harvested by the folks here at MergingArts Productions.

From documentaries to comedies to animation to dramatic shorts, the festival features succinct presentations of all kinds of short film stories.

With over thirty films, not all filmmakers can attend, so some send along video greetings for the audience.  The screenings are followed with a reception featuring music, awards presentations, and food and drink.

Awards include jury-awarded prizes and audience favorites.

Short short attention spans welcome!

Festival screening locations:
