The 19th IFF short film competition is an event opened to anyone who is interested in creating a compelling short film related to our theme this year, CONTINUUM.
We encourage you all to express your creativity and submit your best creations, as the winners will receive a grand prize!

CONTINUUM

CONTINUUM represents the seamless, unbroken flow of time. It celebrates the never-ending chain of memories and experiences that influence one’s choices, connecting the past, present, and future. Riddled with challenges, triumphs, and growth, each stage of life is interlinked, shaping one’s coming-of-age journey. Through these constant ups and downs, one must continue on their own unique paths to create a legacy. How will you showcase the CONTINUUM of time through a cinematic lens?
