These short films are selected and critically judged by senior industry professionals, thereafter distributed to interested VOD platforms.

The Awards on the other hand is an annual merit award, that recognizes the excellence in cinematic short films around the world and promote the value that short films bring to cinema. Achieving this award is strictly by The Filmjoint's voting membership.

    My experience with The Filmjoint was awesome! My film was nominated for Best Short film, unfortunately we didn’t progress past that stage however I was still happy to be nominated.
