Since its start in 1999, Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia (SSFF & Asia) has become the largest festival of its kind in Asia. This year, it is presenting a hybrid edition, with online venues showing films beginning on April 27 and the festival proper held June 11-21 at venues across Tokyo.
In addition to the core competition sections — International (films from outside Japan and Asia), Asia International and Japan — the festival will present shorts of a variety of genres on a range of platforms, including CG animation, nonfiction and smartphone films, as well as sections of shorts themed on Tokyo; made by directors aged 25 and under; and shot in a vertical format (think a standard rectangular cinema screen turned upright).
