SSF2016 Official Selection

We proudly announce the official selection of SAPPORO Short Fest 2016: 11th Sapporo International Short Film Festival & Market.

From 2016 the Sapporo International Short Film Festival & Market will be a part of No Maps | Sapporo Creative Convention. SAPPORO Short Fest 2016 is held by No Maps Committee.

The Award Ceremony will take place October 15, 2016.
SSF 2016 Festival Date: October 10 to 16, 2016.

Thank you for all the 3,548 submissions. And due to the limited space of competitive programmes we are sorry that we are able to choose only a fraction of the submissions. But the rest of the wonderful films are equally valuable and shinning at the short film market.
