Welcome to Simply Shorts, screening some of the best local & international short films, music videos and trailers since 2015.

Best Film Award

Both local and international short films, documentaries, music videos and trailers are eligible

If you are submitting a short film or documentary that is in a language other than English, please have English subtitles within your film.

Filmmakers can submit multiple productions.

There is no strict time limit on short films & documentaries, but under 30 minutes is preferred.

There is no production time-frame restrictions. e.g. We accept productions from the '80s.

Productions that have been screened previously publicly as well as productions that are available online are eligible for entry.

By submitting to Simply Shorts you are giving us permission to screen your production. All the materials within your productions must have appropriate copyrights, and you agree to hold full responsibility to said copyrights.

Please have the best available copy of your production ready to transfer/deliver to us should you be successful in selection. We will need it as soon as possible.

Obviously we would love to screen every production that is submitted, but unfortunately, time doesn't allow us that luxury. A varied selection of short films & documentaries, music videos and trailers will be chosen to suit the night's program. You will be notified on the _____ if your submission has been chosen or not.

Thank you for submitting and good luck!

    Great communication, nice venue, highly appreciated the 2 comps as I had already paid for flights to go to the screening. It was an entertaining evening with lots of different shorts, docos and trailers. Would highly recommend.
