A short film is traditionally defined as a film shorter than 40 minutes, but for our purposes in this competition, it will refer to films longer than 30 seconds but shorter than 3 minutes (see Rules & Regulations about longer films). Short films may be documentaries; influenced by older films or nostalgia films, they can also be dramas or comedies within the PG rating for content. The short films can be inspired by classwork or be original student-led creations. Any film that does not fit in the other categories, can be nominated in the short film category this year.
