Welcome to JustShorts, a dynamic and innovative film festival brand dedicated to showcasing the very best in short filmmaking from across Europe. JustShorts has mission to promote and celebrate short films and their creators.

Our Concept

JustShorts operates as a monthly film festival competition, providing filmmakers with a platform to submit their works and gain recognition. Each month, filmmakers can submit their short films to one of our regional festivals. From these submissions, one standout film is selected as the winner and will be screened at a prestigious cinema venue at the end of the season. In addition, ten semi-finalists are chosen each month to compete in a remaining screening space.

The Grand Finale

At the end of the season, a grand event will be held where all 12 selected films -12 monthly winners- will be showcased. This event is not only a celebration of the incredible talent of short filmmakers but also an opportunity for audiences to engage directly by voting for the best short film of the year.

The Jury

Our jury is composed of a diverse group of esteemed industry professionals, including acclaimed filmmakers, experienced producers, and influential critics from across Europe. With their vast knowledge and keen eye for talent, our jury members are dedicated to recognizing and rewarding exceptional short films that push the boundaries of storytelling and cinematography. Their collective expertise ensures that each submission is evaluated with the highest standards of excellence, providing a fair and inspiring competition for all participants.

Awards and Recognition

The Grand Winner of the year will be awarded the prestigious sponsor award provided by JustShorts’ main sponsor. This award includes a coveted streaming deal, a trophy, a certificate, and an array of other exciting goodies. Our ultimate aim is for Just Shorts to serve as a vital stepping stone for independent filmmakers, propelling their careers to new heights and providing them with the recognition and opportunities they deserve.
