Note: The 2024 installment of this event has already taken place.
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).
SSFF & Asia 2024 will be held at several venues across Tokyo and online. The festival will present a collection of films that reflect our current moment. For the first time in the history of the festival, a short film that was entirely produced by AI will be shown. There will also be an online marketplace for short film creators and other content.
Online screenings will be held from April 25 to June 30.
