The Shortcut 100 International Film Festival is an annual showcase dedicated to promoting the best in independent short film from emerging filmmakers.
For the same amount of time as an average feature film (around 100 minutes) we offer our audience access to the up-and-coming voices and artistic visions of independent cinema from around the world.
Based in Chicago and run by filmmakers from Nebula Creatives L3C, every year features an opening reception, awards chosen by our audience and an after party with filmmakers in attendance - all in a ‘short-and-sweet’ 3-hour program.
This year, we are proudly partnering with a new and exciting streaming platform Pixquid. Winners at our festival will have an opportunity to distribute their award winning short films on the platform. Official selections will automatically be entered for distribution consideration. Either way, your hard work and passion would finally pay off! For more information about Pixquid and to be notified when it's officially launched, sign up for a free account at pixquid.com
