The Big Sur International Short Film Screening Series is no more.

For 12 years we have showcased 595 of the best short film from around the world. It has been an absolute joy but now it is time to turn off the projector.

Thanks to all! Filmmakers, audience, staff and the hundreds of volunteers who have participated.

Special thanks to our Jury: Philip Glass, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Littenberg, Laurie Anderson, David Price, Michael Polish, Lawrence Inglee, Josh Bleibtreu, Susan Zsigmond and Dean Semler.

Thanks to our sponsors and local supporters: Epson, River Inn, Deetjen’s, New Dawn Studios, Eric Perley Design, Big Sur Bakery and many more!

THANKS AGAIN TO ALL – including all you film aficionados who selflessly helped spread the word to film makers from all corners of the globe.

It has been an amazing international community telling tales of war & peace, love, redemption, politics, freedom and, through it all, our common humanity.

Please go to the film data base and sort by Country, Director, Title etc. if you are curious about the films that have been shown, and awarded, in the past 12 years. Below is a list of countries represented during our fantastic run!
