The Short Film Awards

We honor the giants of short film...the best producers, directors, writers, actors, cinematographers, sound engineers, stylists and other creators of short films. The Short Film Awards is an international awards organization. We accept short film submissions from all around the world. The Short Film Awards, affectionately nicknamed the SOFIES, was born out of a love for the special art form known as the Short Film. Due to its brief nature, the Short Film fosters an unmatched spirit of creativity, resourcefulness and independence that inspires, stirs and transforms. The Short Film Awards promote and extol the Short Film as an important and unique art form and outlet for social commentary. The Short Film Awards shine the spotlight on the best and brightest in Short Film and bestow the beautiful and coveted SOFIE award. The Short Film Awards Foundation is an officially approved 501(c)3, nonprofit organization.
