The short film — what a perfect genre. Like the perfect snack. Or the very best poem: intensity and imagination distilled down to the most crucial and poignant of words. Short films are the quintessential starting point, and for some filmmakers, the definitive end goal.

Not only do we love shorts programs, but our long standing loyal audience in San Francisco REALLY loves shorts. The shorts programs at SF IndieFest, SF DocFest and Another Hole in the Head are consistently some of our best attended programs so we now do a whole festival of them!

Film fans know that the short films are the don’t-miss programs of any film festival. SF IndieShorts’ 27 themed programs will present a distillation of the very best of thousands of voices, styles, and stories from around the world and around The Bay.
