LISFF is Lisbon based international short film festival that focuses on narrative film. The festival aims to bring together and inspire short filmmakers from all around the world, as well as support original cinematographic approach and talented filmmakers.
Global technological changes have greatly and inevitably reshaped the face of cinema. The digital era has not only simplified the complicated technical process, but it also made it much cheaper and so, more available in terms of its production.
One of the targets of this festival is to create debates and to give a chance to short filmmakers to share their experiences as well as to discover new talents and create a sustainable network between filmmakers within the industry.
All the screenings and events will take place in Lisbon at the venue which will be confirmed by the end of March 2022. For further information please visit our official website: www.lisboeta.net

    It was a great feeling that my short drama 'DEEPER' was an Official Selection. Unfortunately I could not attend. A big thank you to all in your team.
