Welcome to the Los Angeles Short Film Festival. This is an International Film Festival.

This is an International Film Festival. Everybody can submit. Film festivals are still the best place to screen independent work and get it noticed.

Los Angeles Short Film Festival – where emerging talent finds a place to shine!
