Go Short for professionals

Go Short exists to strengthen short film culture and help young and new talent flourish. We provide a platform for both emerging and established creators to present and further develop. Throughout the year we support talent with screenings, networking events, and sharing knowledge through our channels and the professionals newsletter. During the festival in April, we are a meeting place for professionals - with speed dates, networking opportunities, workshops, panel discussions and of course the Go Short competitions.
