The Very Short Film Festival (VSFF) celebrates Australian stories, showcasing diverse voices and contemporary culture.
They invite you to submit a short film created exclusively for VSFF. Whether you aim to inspire, challenge, or captivate, even the shortest films can make a big impact.
Finalists enjoy mentoring, flights and accommodation to the Premiere Gala Event and Screening, and the opportunity for your film to tour parts of Australia. Winners also receive awards and cash prizes.
VSFF champions new and emerging talent. All genres are welcome, and we’re proudly dedicated to Australian storytellers.
VSFF is free to enter and open to Australian residents, celebrating contemporary Australian stories. Create a 2-5 minute film incorporating the 2025 signature “Seed”—use it in dialogue, visuals, or as an idea to make it uniquely yours. Two categories are available: Open (19+) and Junior (under 18, for school students). Films must be original and premiered to the world through VSFF.
