No Words International short film festival

Welcome to No Words International Short Film Festival, a unique cinematic celebration held in the heart of Ptolemaida, Greece, where storytelling transcends language. Dedicated to the power of visual expression, No Words ISFF showcases compelling short films from around the world that communicate solely through image, movement, and emotion—without spoken dialogue.

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant city with a growing cultural scene, the festival is a meeting point for filmmakers, artists, and cinephiles who believe in the universal language of cinema. From stunning experimental visuals to emotionally charged narratives, every film invites audiences to feel, interpret, and connect beyond words.
Join us in Ptolemaida and experience stories that resonate deeply—no subtitles needed.

"No words short film festival" is an international and independent film festival. Our mission is to "bring in" films projects from ALL over the globe. With no spoken words and under 5 minutes long! Narrative matters! We love drama, fiction, stories etc.

In the Greek section we accepting shorts under 10 minutes and produced ***01.2024 and later***. Please don't send us films older than 2024.

(GR) Για Πέμπτη (7η χρονιά του φεστιβάλ) χρονιά υπάρχει η κατηγορία για Ελληνικές ταινίες μικρού μήκους που έχουν δημιουργηθεί από τον Ιανουαρίου του 2023 και μετά. Δεν υπάρχει κάποιος άλλος περιορισμός αρκεί να έχουν διάρκεια κάτω των 10 λεπτών. Η επιλογή θα γίνει από την προκριματική επιτροπή του φεστιβάλ. Στόχος να προβληθούν μέσα σε μια γεμάτη αίθουσα... όπως το καταφέραμε για 6 χρόνια τώρα!!!

We are waiting for your no word story!
