London Super Shorts Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The London Super Shorts Film Festival is an annual London event dedicated to independent short films, founded by Talent Circle in 2003 to showcase short-form cinema in all its forms. It is notable for screening a wide range of work, from polished 35mm shorts to experimental films, and for creating a strong industry-facing platform for emerging filmmakers through screenings, awards, panels, and workshops. The festival is also recognized as a qualifying event for Cannes Film Week and IMDb, which adds to its standing in the short-film circuit.
