About Filmfare Short film awards

Welcome to the world of cinematic creativity and storytelling in its most concise and captivating form - the Short Films. In our ever-evolving cinematic landscape, short films have found a new lease of life. Originally a staple of the festival circuit, they have now taken the digital realm by storm. These bite-sized masterpieces, with a running time of 20 minutes or less, have transcended their niche beginnings to influence popular culture and spark discussions, much like their feature-length counterparts.

The Filmfare Short Film Awards were conceived with a singular vision: to provide a platform for filmmakers, both aspiring and established, who are driven by the passion to tell compelling stories within the constraints of time. Crafting a meaningful narrative in just 20 minutes is an art form that demands precision, creativity, and an acute understanding of human emotions. It's a challenge that only a select few can conquer, and those who do are rewarded with the opportunity to take home the coveted Black Lady.
