History

The Canberra Short Film Festival (CSFF) strongly supports the makers and producers of Australian short films. Its beginnings in 1996 saw Australian made short films screened as an enjoyable addition to the Canberra International Film Festival's program.

The overwhelming popularity of this annual short film mini-festival inspired organisers to hold the first solo CSFF in 1999 with two separate competitions - the National Short Film competition and the Young Canberra Filmmaker's competition.

Judging

The Canberra Short Film Festival has a three tiered judging system, so the winner of Best Film in each category must have a wide appeal – to industry judges and audience. Where there is a judging panel, they are guided to choose films that have a ‘good story, well told'.

Stage 1: Preliminary

Films are screened to a panel of preliminary judges who create a short-list of 100 minutes of films in each competition category. There are three people on each panel and one panel per category.

Stage 2: Audience

These short-listed films are then screened to audiences over the duration of the festival. The audiences will be given the opportunity to vote for their favourite films from the short-list in each category.

Stage 3: Finals

The top three films as voted by the audience in each category are then screened in a finals sessions to a panel of industry judges, who will decide the best film in each category.
