The annual festival that celebrates short film and short-form content from around the globe will feature the works of filmmakers from more than 20 countries in the categories of drama, comedy, documentary, sci-fi/horror, animation, experimental, music video, lifestyle, and fashion.

“As things are getting back to normal in our industry, we’re not at the finish line yet,” comments Chandna. “Thus, we decided to hold our festival online once again this year. We hope to be in full force in 2022, with a hybrid festival to be held in Cannes, live from the Eden Hotel, as well as virtually for those who can’t make in person.”

Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding public events due to the pandemic, the festival, which usually is held in Cannes during the time period of the famous film festival, this year will be held online on It’sAShort on July 12 and 13, with screenings each day from 1 pm – 4 pm PST.  The 2021 finalists will be announced on June 14, 2021.
