Phoenix Shorts is an IMDb-qualifying festival that celebrates diverse visions and supports the most promising emerging filmmakers from around the world.
Each season, our jury conducts private screenings to select winners across all categories. Every submitted film has a chance to win in the seasonal competition. Seasonal winners are announced on our website and social media platforms. Among them, top-scoring projects are selected by our programming team to be featured in our seasonal live event—a curated celebration showcasing the best films of the year.
This live event provides a valuable platform to present your work to a live audience and industry professionals. It’s an excellent opportunity to gain visibility and build momentum in your filmmaking career. Each season, we also produce a Festival Report featuring winning projects, published through our Phoenix Journal outlet. In addition, some winning films will be selected for online screenings via the Phoenix Hub streaming platform, helping to further extend their reach to a global audience.
We are committed to championing new voices and shaping the future of cinema.
Submit your film today via FilmFreeway and become part of a global community of visionary storytellers.
