9FilmFest is an independent short film festival based in Bangkok, Thailand, dedicated to showcasing compelling and innovative short films from around the globe. The festival embraces the tradition of the "lucky number 9" by selecting exactly nine films as competition finalists for an intimate screening at The Friese-Greene Club. It features various award categories including Best Film, Best Script, Best Animation, Best Cinematography, Best Director, Best Humanity Film, Best Experimental Film, and Best Actress. The festival's history traces back to the Bangkok Film Festival, established in 1999, and 9FilmFest itself emerged in 2011.
