The Fourth Annual Atlanta Shortsfest highlights a diverse mix of short films by ultra-talented filmmakers from across the globe.

Short films often do not garner the attention they deserve on the festival circuit. Atlanta Shortsfest was established to spotlight and promote creators of short films by providing an important platform to share their work with appreciative audience members and fellow filmmakers.

Atlanta Shortsfest showcases a variety of short films with a running time under 40 minutes. Judges program comedy, animation, documentary, experimental, horror & sci-fi, personal, erotic, fantasy, drama, thrillers, action & adventure, cult and just about any other genre you can imagine.

Filmmakers of all experience levels are encouraged to enter their short films today for the next Atlanta Shortsfest, September 13 - 15, 2013 at The Goat Farm Arts Center as part of Independent Film Month.

Independent Film Month takes place during the month of September 2012 at the Goat Farm Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The month long event showcases over 300 films from across the world, numerous workshops and special events designed to unite Independent filmmakers and film fans in a relaxed and casual setting where communication and collaboration are encouraged.

Independent Film Month offers entertainment for everyone. For attendees who love short films from all over the world, we present the Atlanta Shortsfest.  Love blood and guts?
