The Close:Up San Francisco Short Film Festival is an online film festival dedicated to empowering short-form independent filmmaking.
Using the power of online platforms to bring a real cinematic experience to the comfort of cinephiles’ homes, Close:Up San Francisco Short Film Festival features shorts of upcoming filmmakers. Our goal is to offer a platform that will showcase the genre of short films and empower emerging and established filmmakers.
