Best Short Film Festival in Miami

The 2026 festival is our fourth year running the festival - we want it to be remarkable! 
 
A juried festival with a low entry fee that gives out cash awards and screens in an actual venue! Oh my!!
 
The selected short films will be screened at the beautiful Cosford Cinema, University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. The venue houses a 70-square-foot screen and exhibits 35mm and a variety of high-definition digital formats. Awards for best film will be presented on the closing night. A jury of international industry professionals will award prizes to the most engaging films.
 
We are looking forward to seeing you in Miami, a city with a stunning culture and amazing nightlife.​​​​
