Short Shorts Film Festival was founded by Tetsuya Bessho, actor and member of the Screen Actors Guild, to introduce short films to Japan. In 2004, it became an Academy Awards accredited festival.
That same year, the Short Shorts Film Festival Asia, co-sponsored by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, was established to promote new visual culture from Asia and nurture up-and-coming young filmmakers. The two festivals have since merged to become the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (SSFF & Asia).

After opening on May 25, SSFF & Asia 2026 will be held until June 10 at venues across Tokyo, and until June 30 online. It will present short films in various categories, plus the latest work from around the world. Over 250 will be screened altogether, all following the theme for 2026: "cinema engineering." Many will be shown in Japan for the first time.
