The Indie-Clips Short Film Festival is hosting its 3rd edition in December 2023 and your short film could become a part of our live event in London!
In light of current affairs, we will place our spotlight on the power of filmmaking in driving social change, and we are looking for short films about social issues. (please refer to our categories to see the break down) We will also be hosting events and workshops surrounding this theme!
If you are a student filmmaker and/or aged between 16 and 25 years old, we would be happy to review your short film!
Not a student anymore? Submit your work via our Professionals Package and get your project screened on indie-clips.com!
At indie-clips, we believe that every filmmaker deserves a chance for their work to be seen by a larger audience, that is why every short film submitted to our festival will be selected and screened at our online event.
