Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2026 Screening in Autumn

The highlight of the Autumn International Short Film Festival is, without a doubt, the special showcase of this year’s BEST OF BEST from Short Shorts.
This program features the Grand Prix winner — the George Lucas Award — announced at the June festival and now in contention for the next Academy Awards, along with a selection of award-winning films that triumphed in competition and impressed jurors from Japan and around the world. It’s a “best-of-the-best” event that brings together the very finest works all in one place.
