Talkies Short Film Awards

Talkies Short Film Awards – Celebrating the Best in Short Film

Since 2012, Talkies has brought communities together through a shared love of independent cinema. We have built a reputation for championing short films and supporting emerging talent.

Now, we’re launching a new awards initiative to celebrate outstanding short films made in the past three years.

Call for Entries: The Talkies Short Film Awards.

We’re now accepting submissions.

All screened films will receive a monetary prize and additional awards will be made by audience vote and a judges’ panel

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for English-language films that are bold, fresh, and deeply human – stories that surprise, challenge, entertain, and move us. Whether it’s fiction, documentary, animation, or experimental, if your film has something powerful to say, we want to see it. 

Submit your short and be part of something special.
