The Beijing Indie Short Film Festival is a bilingual festival dedicated to celebrating independent short films, with a particular emphasis on those made in Beijing, China. It supports both English and Chinese films and is held biannually in December and June, often utilizing venues such as 500-year-old hutongs and art galleries. The festival typically screens around 20 short films and prioritizes entries with a connection to Beijing, given that a significant portion of its audience comprises Beijing-based filmmakers.
