Overview
The Uppsala Short Film Festival (often referred to as Uppsala International Short Film Festival) is Sweden's premier arena for short film and one of the most important short film festivals in Europe, founded in 1982. It showcases over 300 short films of all genres—including fiction, documentaries, animation, and experimental work—up to 40 minutes in length, with no premiere requirement. The festival is notable for its Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, BAFTA, and European Film Academy recognition, meaning winners of its international or national competitions may qualify for Oscar consideration.
