Show Me Shorts is Aotearoa New Zealand’s leading international short film festival. Show Me Shorts are a competitive Academy Awards-accredited festival that exists to connect New Zealanders with short films and share New Zealand short films with the world.
Each year their experienced programming team curates a selection of the best short films and music videos from thousands of submissions that come in from around the world.
Diversity is at the heart of their programming strategy. The selection of films each year covers a wide range of themes and subjects, including horror, drama, animation, comedy, documentary and everything in between. The stories in their short films offer audience members the chance to escape into new worlds, learn more about ourselves and connect with others. They prioritise well-crafted narrative-style films with strong audience appeal, as well as films that are making their premiere in our festival.
