Since August, 2021, the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia began releasing a shortlist every month from among the entries for the five Academy Award\u00a9 eligible categories (International, Asia International, Japan, Animation, & Non-fiction) for the following year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\r\n

For this year\u2019s 25th<\/sup> Anniversary edition of the SSFF & Asia 2023, in November this year, we received a total of 797 entries. In particular, there were many entries from the United States, Japan, France, China, and United Kingdom. 20% of the total submissions were from Japan. In addition, 34\uff05 of the submitted films were directed by female filmmakers and 28% from first-time filmmakers. There were many stories about the younger generation struggling between conforming to society or alternative ways of life, middle-age characters facing life changes and reconsidering what\u2019s more important to add value to their lives. As for genres, we are receiving more horror\/thriller films than last year but with added elements of comedy .<\/p>\r\n

Today is the final day to accept submissions in the 5 main competitions as well as the Cinematic Tokyo and the Smartphone Film Competition supported by Sony\u2019s Xperia. We hope to see your submissions here! \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
