Stream These 10 AFI FEST Short Films
In anticipation of the final submissions deadline next week (July 15), AFI FEST showcases some of the short films that have screened at the festival in previous years. These shorts range from narrative to documentary to animation and even border on experimental. The AFI FEST programming team loves to champion shorts that are a little on the weird side and play with the short form. Check out some of the titles below and see the films that made the cut.
If you are interested in submitting your film, here’s how to submit.
