Please pardon our appearance as we are revamping our Web presence.

In seven short years, the Big Sur International Short Film Screening Series has become one of the most exciting and far-reaching celebrations of short film in the world. The summer screenings are outdoors in our natural amphitheater under the towering redwoods at the Henry Miller Memorial Library, a non-profit art center here in Big Sur.

In January 2013, our new and improved website will reflect the incredible diversity and breadth of the ever-growing series, serving as a one-stop portal for directors while providing extensive film archives and a streamlined submission process. In the meantime, you can submit your film for the 2013 series here.

As a non-profit, we greatly appreciate your kind donations help us cover costs associated with producing the series.

Our Jury is comprised of some of the world’s most creative and innovative film-makers, artists, and musicians, including Philip Glass, Kirsten Dunst, Laurie Anderson, and Oscar winner Vilmos Zsigmond.

We are interested in films that are bold and uncensored, films that invite us into your world, that will shock us, madden us, make us cry and laugh, films with moments that are especially lovely, serendipitous, interesting, candid or moving.

There is no particular theme and the only restriction is that your film cannot have been shown in our series before. No fee and no limits on year of production. The deadline for submissions is April 20, 2012.
