We are excited to announce that the International Short Film Festival Kalmthout is moving to Antwerp and will continue as the Antwerp International Short Film Festival!
After many successful years in Kalmthout, we have decided to bring the festival to the city of Antwerp.
Starting this year, the festival will be held at the iconic Filmhuis Klappei, a historic and atmospheric cinema in the heart of the city.

Antwerp, with its rich cultural scene and vibrant energy, offers an inspiring new environment for our international short film festival. We are very happy to start this new chapter at Filmhuis Klappei. We look forward to welcoming filmmakers and audiences from around the world to the Antwerp International Short Film Festival.

An independent live screening festival that invites filmmakers from around the world to share their stories.

We have 4 main categories:
- International Shorts
- National Shorts (Belgium)
- Documentary Worldwide
- Animation Worldwide

Additionally, we have separate awards for 'Best Flemish-Spoken Film' and 'Best Dutch Film.' You can find the complete list of 11 Awards below.

Our festival is honored to host a professional jury who will select the 9 prestigious awards. We also cherish audience participation with our 2 Audience Awards.

We're open to a diverse range of genres, including those less conventional like horror, Sci-Fi, or humor. At ISFF Kalmthout, we appreciate unique storytelling in all its forms.

All shorts with a running time of up to fifty minutes are welcome.
