Sheffield Short Film Festival aka "Sheffield Shorts" is run by Sheffield filmmakers and is following in the Steel City’s long history and tradition of celebrating cinema. By bringing international short films to the amazing and diverse audiences of Sheffield, our aim is to celebrate new and established filmmakers from around the globe and share with you the magic of cinematic storytelling through the time-honoured format of short film.
2022
The 2022 festival will be Sheffield Shorts' 3rd edition and will be a live in-person event in Sheffield.
Festival History
The festival launch was originally scheduled for May 2020, however, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we were forced to postpone until October 2020, with the festival eventually being held online. The second edition was held online in May 2021, again due to Covid-19.
