​INDEPENDENT FILM SHORTS FESTIVAL

Our festival is a celebration of the poetic moment, and, as such, is not a competition that pits films against each other. Rather, our festival is dedicated to finding the poetic—the moment—which we recognize as the pearl in a film, and when we find it we will recognize said film with our highest award—The Poetic Pearl Award. In addition, Award of Excellence and Award of Merit for excellence and distinction, respectively, may be awarded.
