ENTER YOUR SHORT FILM

The 17th Annual Atlanta Shorts
June 27 - 28, 2026 at Limelight Theater in Atlanta, Georgia

Get ready for two days of short films, filmmakers, and unforgettable nights.

Atlanta Shorts Fest is Atlanta’s longest running short film festival, built for filmmakers who take chances and audiences who love discovering something new. For nearly twenty years, we’ve been standing behind indie filmmakers and the stories they work so hard to tell.

You’ll see comedy, drama, horror, documentary, animation, and experimental short films from around the world, all packed into one high-energy weekend. Every screening block brings something different. You might laugh, think, or get a little weirded out, sometimes all in the same hour.

And when the credits roll, the fun doesn’t stop. Our after-parties are legendary. Meet filmmakers, grab a drink, talk film, and celebrate the stories that made the weekend.

If your short film has heart, humor, or something original to say, submit it to Atlanta’s longest running short film festival.

Seventeen years in, Atlanta Shortsfest is still a festival made by filmmakers for filmmakers, and the party just keeps getting better.
