The Linz International Short Film Festival (Linz ISFF) was established in 2018 with the goal of supporting emerging filmmakers and providing a professional platform for their short films. Dedicated to independent short films, the festival aims to showcase a unique selection of works and takes place annually in Linz, Austria, typically in October. The festival also features a Film TALENT Academy and SHORT FILM LAB, offering filmmakers opportunities to develop their projects for pitching at international events, such as the Festival de Cannes.
