Established legitimate festival
BRNO16 is one of the world's oldest dedicated short film festivals, having run uninterrupted in Brno, Czechia since 1960, making it the longest-standing short film festival exclusively devoted to shorts in the Czech Republic. It showcases a diverse range of short films up to 30 minutes—including live action, animation, experimental, student, professional, and non-professional works—through international and Czechoslovak 16 competitions judged by multiple juries.
