Shorts in Focus is a regular event for filmmakers of Bath, Bristol, and the South West to screen their short films in front of an open, welcoming live audience. This is your chance to network, gain valuable feedback, and discover outstanding short films from Bath and Bristol’s filmmaking community.

We want to screen your short films! Whether it’s a finished short film, a work in progress, or just a glimpse of what’s to come, we’ll screen your short to a welcoming, friendly audience in the intimate Komedia Arts Cafe.

There's no selection process involved. If you submit it, we'll screen it!

Shorts in Focus aims to shine a spotlight on Bath and Bristol’s filmmaking community, providing a relaxed, safe space to see how audiences (made up of people who aren’t just your friends and family!) react to your film in real time.

By submitting your short film, you are agreeing to attend Shorts in Focus on the night of your screening. On arrival, we will check that at least one member of your filmmaking team is in attendance. If no-one from your film attends the screening, we will not show your film.

Films must be no longer than 15 minutes, and must be submitted in advance.

There's no selection process involved. If you submit it, we'll screen it!

    A surprisingly good little screening of local filmmakers’ work.

    There were some good quality films despite there being no criteria for the screening.

    The chap who runs it should have got the filmmakers to mingle and interact a bit.
