about

A vital and dynamic medium in the world of cinema, short films

They provide a streamlined and concentrated storytelling experience that enables filmmakers to explore a variety of subjects and try out cutting-edge methods in a condensed amount of time.

These movies frequently succinctly but powerfully convey the essence of a narrative or subject, giving the audience a window into the filmmaker's imagination and skill as a storyteller.

The goal of the Liverpool Shorts Independent International Film Festival is to exhibit the work of both up-and-coming and experienced filmmakers while also celebrating and promoting the craft of short filmmaking. The festival strives to provide a welcoming and accepting environment where filmmakers may interact with business leaders, artists, and enthusiastic viewers. All screenings held every January for 3 days in Stanley Park’n’Garden. The festival seeks to promote cooperation, ignite creativity, and elevate the voices of independent filmmakers through curated screenings, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.
