The Lancaster International Short Film Festival (LISFF) began in 2008 with a Call for Entries to the Rumschpringe: A Very Short Film Festival, seeking shorts 5 mins or less. Over the next five years, we began receiving more films, international films. and settled on 30 mins or less. In 2014 we were persuaded to change our name to the Lancaster International Short Film Festival and we have been so since.

Presented before you, the history of the film festival, the amazing cinema brought to Lancaster, Pennsylvania --not to mention all of the amazing local artists who help make it happen every year!

Everything about LISFF is a work in progress and updates regularly.
