The short film — what a perfect genre. Like the perfect snack. Or the very best poem: intensity and imagination distilled down to the most crucial and poignant of words. Short films are the quintessential starting point, and for some filmmakers, the definitive end goal.



Welcome to the 2024 San Francisco Short Film Festival playing at the 4-Star and Balboa Theaters (October 17-24) and here (October 17-27).



You are now just a moment away from checking out 95 excellent short films from around the world and around The Bay!
