About SHORTSHORTS
SHORTSHORTS is a comprehensive short film brand. Its film festival, “Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia” (SSFF & ASIA) held since 1999, is accredited by the Academy Awards® and is one of the largest international short film festival in Asia. SHORTSHORTS leads the film culture through various means such as its screening events, film distribution, production and collaboration work with companies and administrative offices.
Short Shorts Film Festival ＆ Asia
In 1999, actor Tetsuya Bessho, member of the Screen Actors Guild of America (SAG), has worked to introduce the then new genre, “short films,” which he first encountered in the United States, to film fans in Japan as the American Short Shorts Film Festival. In 2001, the festival was renamed the Short Shorts Film Festival. In 2004, SSFF was recognized as an Academy Award® accredited film festival. In the same year, with the aim of promoting new visual culture from ASIA and nurturing up-and-coming young filmmakers, the Short Shorts Film Festival ASIA (SSFF ASIA, co-sponsored by Tokyo Metropolitan Government) was established and the festival is now known collectively as SSFF & ASIA. To commemorate the festival’s 20th anniversary in 2018, the Grand Prix film was named the “George Lucas Award” in honor of director George Lucas. In January 2019, the Short Shorts Film Festival in Hollywood was held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the festival. Beginning with the 2019 festival, in addition to the Official Competitions (International, ASIA International, and Japan), the Non-Fiction Competition and this year, the Animation Competition Best Short Award winners have also become eligible for nomination at the Academy Awards the following year. SSFF & ASIA will continue to support young creators through the festival.
This time,”WEB3 Award” will be held at SSFF & ASIA 2023.
Discover the value of new short films through collaboration between traditional film awards and WEB3!
About the first funding
We will carry out funding in conjunction with the holding of the “WEB3 Award”, a participatory community award that can be produced by both audiences and creators, rather than selecting award-winning works based on the sensibility of specific judges.
We will carry out various projects as events that anyone can easily participate in and token holding benefits. Experience the excitement of projects that utilize Community Tokens
