As San Jose’s only film festival dedicated to short films, SJSFF showcases brilliant filmmaking in the short form – everything from 2 to 30 minutes – with the exploration of intriguing and innovative films. Audiences are invited to select their ‘Best of the Fest’ with ballots throughout with festival. Award winners presented at the Closing Night on Sunday, October 27th.
Festival organizers cast a wide net in their search for the best short films from around the world, with official selections from Spain, Italy, South Africa, Ireland, New York, LA and more. Filmmakers from across the globe will make the pilgrimage to Silicon Valley to represent their films at this year’s festival with spirited Q&A sessions after their films.
Now in its eleventh year, SJSFF has attracted worldwide acclaim. Ranked as one of the Top 50 Film Festivals “worth their submission fee” by MovieMaker Magazine, the San Jose International Short Film Festival has returned to deliver World Class Short Films including Academy Award Nominated and BAFTA winning short films, and has become the home to rising independent filmmakers from around the world and an invaluable part of Silicon Valley arts community.
