AIM INTERNATIONAL DIGITAL SHORT-FILM FESTIVAL (AIMIDSF) is a competitive festival of short duration films, organized and conceptualized by Art Insight Medium (AIM), a nonprofit government registered trust from Pune, India. AIM's aim is to contribute to the development and promotion of artistic short films, documentaries, animation films and their production through a festival platform called AIMIDSF.

Film festivals are a vital link in the chain of global film culture. It’s sharing. Thanks to global digitalization and huge networking, Film Festivals are now an exceptional tool for crossing the communication channels from the most distant places. Film festivals are helping at the frontline of an increasingly polarized world. Speaking multiple languages, they give us the ability to hear a rich diversity of voices from the divided areas. Whatever happens in the farthest place of the world, it occupies the festival screens. So AIMIDSF is designed for a stage to display your talent. Come join us.
