The Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia is accepting short films until January 31st, 2018. Here you can find more information about their Call for Entry.

Started in 1999 the Short Shorts Film Festival (SSFF) became an Academy of Motion Picture Art and Sciences accredited festival in 2004, where the winner of the Short Shorts’ Grand Prix is eligible to receive an Academy Awards® nomination. SSFF has now become one of the largest short film festivals in Asia. In 2004, SSFF received a request from the Governor of Tokyo to develop film programs showcasing Asian short films. This led to the established of the Short Shorts Film Festival Asia. Now, these two festivals take place in Harajuku and Omotesando, Tokyo simultaneously in June as the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia.
