Our aim is to provide a platform for the funniest short films, but still appreciating all the other aspects of film making with it.
Every film is watched, and awarded points against a criteria, which then works out the winners for each category. If you are submitting to the Screenplay category, you do not need to submit a live action film alongside it, but the script should be no longer than 20 pages.
Every film received, providing it meets the submission criteria, is viewed and graded for a variety of categories. A public screening will be for those 'in competition', as well as we can publish the film on the awards page of the website if it is selected as an award winner (this is not essential, but a public link to the film will be required for embedding if so). For Winners of the best screenplay, keep us updated with its progress afterwards, and we'll share it on our social media for you!
We do not accept hard copies of films. You will only be able to submit an online screener.
Silly Short Films Festival is set up and run by LivelyWood Pictures, an award-winning production company. We keep these two elements separate though, and all content received remains solely the property of the copyright owner(s).
