About Us

The Choice International Film Festival is an independent film festival that puts the spotlight on short films that unfortunately doesn’t get the mainstream attention it deserves. We accept submissions from around the world and encourage you to take the trip down-under to celebrate your film and contribution with us.

Our judging panel consists of experienced filmmakers who themselves have gone through the same path of creating and maintaining a film production.

The Short Fest Official Selection comprises the approximately 300+ shorts curated thematically into programs of approximately 90 minutes in duration which aim to bring together a diverse cross-section of contemporary cinema.

Distinct works from filmmakers of various international backgrounds come into conversation with one another in unexpected and exciting ways. ShortFest maintains an inclusive attitude toward presenting short-form moving image work, with a variety of genres and forms converging throughout the Official Selection.
