The French Riviera has long been an inspiring destination for filmmakers. Its international appeal makes it the perfect setting to showcase creative work from around the world. The Nice Port Short Film Festival has been established to provide a dedicated platform for independent producers to share their films with an international audience.

Unlike the high profile glamour of the Cannes Film Festival, the Nice Port Short Film Festival offers a relaxed and intimate environment, one that celebrates originality, artistic vision, and the very best of independent cinema.

Awards & Prizes

Awards will be presented to selected films, with additional recognition given to those that demonstrate exceptional quality in content, script, and cinematography. A dedicated and professional judging panel will ensure a fair and impartial evaluation process.

The festival also offers a valuable opportunity to connect and network with fellow filmmakers, industry professionals, and like minded creatives.

Rules & Terms

Filmmakers are required to ensure that they hold full copyright ownership of their work. We also request that at least one key member of the production team such as the producer, director, or a lead actor attend the festival. We look forward to welcoming you and celebrating your film with us.
