About

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 from May 30th through June 15th over two venues in Tokyo and one in Yokohama. Nearly 4,000 films from over 110 different 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. The Laforet Harajuku Museum venue saw four times the usual number of attendees on this special day last year, opening up to long lines of eager moviegoers waiting at the door. This year, amidst Japan’s consumption tax hikes in April, the festival is doing its part to give something back. Festival President Tetsuya Bessho has proposed the idea of "bringing entertainment closer to the people:" all films on the program (with the exception of some special programs) will screen for free for the duration of the festival.
