IFFM Short Film Competition

IFFM Short Film Competition 2024 Theme: Our Collective Home

As we mark the 16th year of our Film Festival, we’re excited to open submissions for our annual Short Film Competition. This year’s theme is "Our Collective Home". This theme invites filmmakers to reflect on the spaces we share—our communities, our environments, and our planet. It’s about what connects us, the places we care about, and the people we share them with. Whether it's about a neighbourhood, a nation, or the earth we all live on, we want to hear your stories about belonging, responsibility, and togetherness. Submissions: Submission deadline: 10th July 2025 Rules & Terms: Films should not exceed 15 minutes in length All films must be in English or have English subtitles We prefer that production to be completed between July 2024 and June 2025 Preference may be given to films that have not been previously broadcast We look forward to discovering your vision of Our Collective Home at IFFM Short Film Competition 2025.
