The mission of Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia is to
celebrate short films as a fertile arena for new cinematic talent
and to raise public awareness of the format as powerful
entertainment in and of itself, not merely an appetizer before the
feature. Filmmaking began with short films, and many world-renowned
filmmakers, from George Lucas and Martin Scorsese to Jane Campion
and Pedro Almod�var, began their careers making short films. The
festival reaches audiences of 20,000 and awards 4,000,000 yen in
prizes to winning filmmakers annually. As with the first motion
pictures ever created, the short film medium continues to foster
innovation, creativity, and expression. Short Shorts Film Festival
& Asia nurtures an environment where new talents can exchange
ideas and share their work with the public. Short Shorts Film
Festival & Asia will celebrate its 10th Anniversary in 2008.
