The curtain is rising on our sixth edition, and the search for the extraordinary begins now. We are proud to open the call for entries for the Indie Shorts Mag Short Film Festival 2026. This year, we continue our mission to amplify the voices of independent cinema, scouting the globe for the raw, the real, and the revolutionary. Our platform has solidified its place as a sanctuary for independent spirit, and we remain dedicated to propelling fresh talent out of the shadows and onto the world stage.
Do you possess a narrative that refuses to be ignored? Are you a filmmaker ready to disrupt the status quo? This is your invitation to present your vision to a global audience hungry for originality. We are looking for more than just movies; we are looking for new perspectives and bold stylistic choices. We eagerly await the chance to champion your work. Let’s redefine the boundaries of the short film format together.
Since our journey began in 2015, we have been driven by a singular passion for the cinematic art form. Now, moving into our second decade as a publication and entering our sixth year as a festival, our commitment has never been stronger. What started as a platform for discussion has blossomed into a thriving ecosystem where industry veterans and rising stars collide. The relentless support of the filmmaking community continues to fuel our evolution.
Building on the triumphs of previous years, the 6th Indie Shorts Mag Short Film Festival is designed to be our most immersive event yet. We are curating a dynamic fusion of fiction, documentary, and animation that celebrates the diversity of the human experience.
We invite you to make the Indie Shorts Mag Short Film Festival the home for your next project. Join us as we embrace the future of storytelling.
"Define the year in cinema. Submit your film and let your voice resonate with the world."
