BE OUR GUEST AT HOLLYWOOD SHORTSFEST

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 4th consecutive year of one of the most exciting short film festival: Hollywood ShortsFest. A celebration of creativity, storytelling, and the power of cinema.

 

Our curating team has worked thoughtfully not only on the visual identity of this edition but also in crafting each block of films as a cohesive journey. While every short film stands as its own unique story, together they create a flow, a “follow-through”, guiding you from one cinematic experience to the next.

 

Over the course of this weekend, you will have the chance to discover 65 short films, each a world of its own, each a masterwork. Sit back, and celebrate the magic of Cinema.
