How do filmmakers tell a story in under six minutes?

Not trailers, music videos, PSAs or experimental projects, but honest-to-goodness beginning-middle-end stories?

The Short Short Story Film Festival is a competitive international festival of films that tell a story in under six minutes, celebrating brevity in filmmaking with both live-action and animated films.

Two programs, Heartstrings and Headtrip, both showcase dozens of films tightly sequenced in under ninety minutes, each with a distinctive tone yet wide-ranging styles and topics.

Short short attention spans welcome!

New for 2023, The Short Short Story Film Festival is a BIFA-qualifying Film Festival. Visit the British Film Institute to find out more.
