ShortFest 2021 | June 22-28

We’re thrilled to announce that the 27th Palm Springs International ShortFest will be back with in-person screenings at the Camelot Theatres (Palm Springs Cultural Center) from June 22-28! The event will be the first film festival in California to hold all of its screenings in-theatre in 2021.

To ensure the safety of patrons, we are working closely with the Camelot Theatres to use stringent cleaning protocols for screening rooms and public areas. Theatergoers will be required to wear masks to enter venues, and screening capacity will be determined by city, county and state guidelines at the time of the event.

The ShortFest Forum will return with virtual classes and panels featuring industry representatives, filmmakers and additional guests to maximize audience participation and connect with international filmmakers unable to attend. ShortFest passes will go on sale on May 17 with schedule and tickets available the first week of June.

Designated by AMPAS, BAFTA, BIFA and Goya Awards as an award-qualifying festival, and accredited by the International Short Film Conference, the Palm Springs International ShortFest & Short Film Market is one of the most acclaimed short film showcases in the world.
