About our classes - Short & Long Festival History
Every great movie starts with an idea. The first edition of the Short & Long Film Festival was created with the belief that cinema knows no boundaries - neither in form nor in length. We are open to all types of filmmaking: short and feature films, animation, documentaries, music videos, commercials and screenplays. If there is passion, creativity and courage in the work, it deserves to be seen.
How did it all start?
The idea for the festival was born out of a desire to create a platform without limitations, where every form of filmmaking gets equal recognition. Traditional festivals often focus only on certain genres and formats, leaving short films, experimental works and screenplays in the shadows.
Short & Long Film Festival is the answer to this challenge - a festival where it's not the length of the movie that matters, but its idea and artistic value.
What makes us unique?
🎥 We accept everything! - From micro-shorts to feature-length films, from animation to commercials and music videos.
🏆 Awards for creativity and daring - nominations take into account not only genres and technical aspects, but also social impact and originality.
🌍 Open to all - we have no restrictions on experience or budget. Any filmmaker, screenwriter or animator can submit their work.
🎭 Space for experimentation - no rigid boundaries, just pure creativity.

Our Mission
We believe that cinema is more than entertainment. It is a language that brings people together, a tool to express thoughts, emotions and ideas. The Short & Long Film Festival is committed to supporting filmmakers, screenwriters, animators and musicians by helping their stories find an audience.
