The Berlin Short Film Festival is an annual event that aims to connect international short filmmakers with a diverse Berlin audience, serving as a platform for new talent and a celebration of cinematic creativity and innovation. The festival screens dozens of short films in various genres and formats, typically under 50 minutes in length, prioritizing low-budget films of independent spirit and emerging talent. Screenings and networking events are held, often at the Babylon Berlin Cinema, providing opportunities for filmmakers to showcase their work and build connections. As of 2026, the festival is celebrating its 15th year.
