Since 2013, Shorts@Fringe has showcased hundreds of short films (-15:00) at the Azores Fringe Festival, the international arts festival in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Program will happen at various islands from indoor to outdoor venues giving the opportunity for filmmakers to have their work showcased in the Azores and also for audiences that otherwise would not have a chance to see this type of work. All type of shorts are welcome up to maximum 15 minute long of English or Portuguese language or subtitled in one of those languages; no-spoken-word films have a better opportunity to be chosen for program, as well as music films and animation.

  • The festival was amazing. Terry was such a good help and answered all of our questions. We are very happy with the hospitality and the effort Mirateca did to try and fly us to Azores to be there in person. Unfortunately it wasn't possible for other reasons. I hope we can get to be part of this festival again in the future!

  • Delighted that my film was chosen to be shown in this festival as the dance film was made in Portugal.
    Even more over the moon when I won the audience award for Dance Film <3
    Muito Obrigada

    Thank you Azores Fringe for giving my film "Stop", an opportunity in your amazingly original and important festival. It was a great honour to be involved. You have probably the most original and superlative venue of just about any film festival I've ever seen. Fantastic!
