Greetings Filmmakers to our IMDb qualifying film festival!

Submissions are now open for the 11th season of the UK Seasonal Short Film Festival.

Our festival will give audiences around the United Kingdom a chance to see the wide variety of fantastic short films that are being produced around the world. We accept any genre from drama to action to horror to documentary to comedy to animation and we prize originality above all. We also offer awards for the individual talents that go into making a successful film such as directing, script-writing, acting and production values. We have accumulated a database of production companies and talent agencies who will be receiving free invitations to the festival to scout for upcoming talent.

The films will be judged by a panel of filmmakers, performers and creative people who know and love films. We are looking for dynamic scripts, direction and performances. Films that are, above all, involving.

We are pursuing different possibilities within the broadcast and streaming industries that we hope will be, in the near future, of benefit to our festivals and the filmmakers that take part. There is a high demand for well curated and audience tested creative content and we plan on taking advantage of this need. Updates will be announced on our social media and newsletter.

We look forward to seeing your efforts.

The UK Seasonal Short Film Festival's decision is final, and we cannot enter into discussion about films not accepted.

If selected, your film can only be screened for the festival edition you have submitted to. We cannot postpone screenings of your film to later festivals.

If your film is chosen to screen in competition, we will send you an acceptance email and request a download or digital transfer of your short film and expect to receive one as soon as possible. The file must be received by the date stated in the acceptance email, or your film will not be screened.

    Really nice of you to say David. Your film " CROIX DE BOIS CROIX DE FER (wooden Cross / Iron cross)" was a very, very accomplished piece of cinema. Brilliantly directed and acted. It deserves all the plaudits it gets! Highly recommended.

  • The festival was a friendly, low-key affair held at a very cool venue in Edinburgh. We had a couple of difficulties on the journey up but so glad we made the effort. It was such an honour to watch my short film on a big screen with a lovely audience. There was a wide variety of films on the docket, from homegrown talent to international fare.
    Thank you for selecting out little noir for inclusion at the festival.
