International 2 Sides Short Film Festival

We are inviting filmmakers, visual artists and film students from all over the world to send their films in the categories of fiction, documentary, animation or experimental to the International 2 Sides Short Film Festival. At 2SSFF, we care about bringing 2 sides together in every sense. We focus on the experiences of all identities, their ways of living, their races, ethnicities, beliefs and gender while presenting unique short films from different cultures and categories in our selections. We create space for unique productions that focus on diversity, directorial debuts, LGBTQI+ productions, films directed by women and new generation experimental works and we develop new ways of collective viewing by organizing boutique film screenings and festival events at alternative venues. Every year, we collaborate with a film/art initiative from a different part of the world to create opportunities for collective thinking, research and creation in the field of short film. After our collaborations with Balkan Can Kino from Athens and bi’bakino from Berlin in the previous years, we are delighted to announce that we are partnering with Rotterdam based Galerie de Jaloezie this year. Due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 situation, at 2SSFF’21, we will present a hybrid program containing both physical and online events and film screenings. We are waiting for your short film productions that are made in 2017 or after, and are between 5-25 minutes. While selecting the films that will take part at the festival, we give importance to unique, innovative stylistic elements and a consistent aesthetic as much as the theme and content. We are very excited to watch your films and present them to our audience at our festival! *International 2 Sides Short Film Festival is supported by Spaces of Culture and conducted by Digital Film Atelier (DFA)
