Battle of The Sketches
Emerging or unverified festival
Battle of the Sketches is an underground Austin comedy film festival that presents a competitive, three-day showcase of comedy features, shorts, sketches, animation, and other comedic work from filmmakers worldwide. It is notable for its eclectic, often edgy programming and its emphasis on short-form comedy, making it a niche event in Austin’s comedy and film scene rather than a major industry-market festival.
