Monthly, SOFIE TV presents specially curated screenings on the TV and streaming platform, Roku. The screenings are inspired by specific themes, genres and other interesting, creative groupings. Chosen shorts will be featured on the SOFIE TV Roku channel. Shorts may also be chosen for broadcast on several New York cable channels.
SOFIE TV short film content and other artistic works are curated by The Short Film Awards, an international awards organization that, each year, honors the giants of short film...the best producers, directors, writers, actors, cinematographers, sound engineers, stylists and other creators of short films.
The Short Film Awards, affectionately nicknamed the SOFIES, was born out of a love for the special art form known as the Short Film. Due to its brief nature, the Short Film fosters an unmatched spirit of creativity, resourcefulness and independence that inspires, stirs and transforms. The Short Film Awards promote and extol the Short Film as an important and unique art form and outlet for social commentary.
The Short Film Awards Foundation is an officially approved 501(c)3, nonprofit organization.
