short film

BSF is an international, juried short film festival, created in 2017 and based in Barcelona, Spain. BSF screens outstanding short film, animation, docs, experimental and video art. We understand that some short film and video blur the lines of typical film festival categories, so we also enthusiastically encourage non-traditional and experimental formats. 

The stories of and by women, girls and non-binary people are underrepresented in film festivals, so we want to encourage submissions from anyone self-identifying as a woman, non-binary and/or anyone telling stories about women, girls and non-binary people.

An international jury will select the winning categories including, Best International Short Film or Video 2021, which will receive 1000€. 

In 2010 a film festival was born in Patmos island; surrounded by friends and colleagues who believed in the vision to create a filmmakers’ meeting point on the Aegean. Since then the Aegean Film Festival has transformed into an international festival and platform for the development of new projects and ideas and the promotion of unique works.

The Festival has the mission to educate, entertain, and invite filmmakers and artists to a unique celebration of cinema. The Festival Team is delighted and honoured to invite and filmmakers in the islands of Patmos and Paros in order to present their work to both international and local audiences.
