Show Me Shorts Film Festival (0)

Festival start: 06 October 2018      Festival end: 31 October 2018

Show Me Shorts is New Zealand’s leading international short film festival. We work to connect New Zealanders with the best short films from here and around the world; celebrate excellence in short film making; and foster the short film community.

Each year our experienced team of programmers curate a selection of the best short films from Aotearoa and around the world, plus some of the top local music videos. We prioritise cinematic narrative-style films with strong audience appeal, as well as films that are making their premiere in our festival.

Founded in 2006 at a single venue, Show Me Shorts has grown to become a nationwide event celebrating the short film art form, and championing the filmmakers. The festival now takes place at more than 25 cinemas nationwide, from Kaitaiai to Stewart Island.

We launch the festival with glamorous opening night events at the country's two most prestigious picture palaces The Civic in Auckland and The Embassy in Wellington.

As part of the festival, Show Me Shorts also provides resources, professional development and networking opportunities for aspiring short film makers through our Short Film Talks, Filmmaker Resources and Aotearoa Short Film Lab for screenwriters.

At Show Me Shorts, we love filmmakers. We love your creativity, aspirations, questions and how your stories bring us together.
