Dedicated to celebrating short-form independent filmmaking, Oslo Short Film Festival opened its doors for the first time in 2019 attracting both a local and international audience. Our vision is to highlight the importance of short films and bring upcoming filmmakers to the foreground.
Therefore our screening programme showcases various genres and cinematic styles covering themes of a wide range from social issues to life challenges and the complexities of human relations. We invite all filmmakers regardless of experience and background to send us their creations.
The Oslo Short Film Festival is organised by HFP, a pioneer organisation that runs Film Festivals and other events showcasing and championing ideas of diversity. Through our global series of film Festivals that spread over 13 countries, we open the path to voices with a compelling story to share.
