15th Short Film Breaks

SHORT FILM BREAKS is the only film festival taking place within private companies, public and non-profit organizations, in a bid to offer smart break opportunities while promoting the independent movie industry around the world. Find out moreAt Short Film Breaks, our mission is to bridge the gap between hard-to-distribute films - especially independent shorts - and hard-to-reach audiences, including employees and beneficiaries of our partner companies and NGOs, as well as people living in remote villages around the world. As a festival founded by filmmakers and human resources professionals, we believe in the transformative power of cinema to inspire and connect people across cultures and borders. Over the past 12 years, we've screened over 900 films to audiences in seven countries, reaching a total of 96,000 people, and offered cash prizes of more than $30.000. Our goal is to continue expanding our reach and impact, bringing more diverse and innovative voices to audiences who might not otherwise have access to them. Thank you for joining us on this journey! We started back in 2013 and we’ve kept ourselves busy, trying to improve with each hosted edition. During the years we’ve managed to: ✰ screen films in 19 communities from 7 countries (Nepal, Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania, Romania, Senegal and Guatemala) ✰ multiply the total value of cash prizes we’re awarding winning.
