Hi All

We launched a new magazine in Cannes this year, Movie Money Magazine? I have
attached a free copy, this new magazine is the only one of its kind in the
world and is filling a huge void for filmmakers in relation to film funding,
We have promotional hard copies and flyers we can send out if its of
interest.

Issue 10 of Universal Film Magazine is also available and free online at www
ufmag.biz - lots of festival stories and an open invitation to anyone to
contribute interviews or articles
Kind Regards 
Tyrone D Murphy 
Editor - Universal Film Magazine - www.ufmag.biz (going out to 3.7 M in over
100 countries free) 
Editor – Movie Money Magazine - www.moviemonyemag.com (all about film
funding)

Dear Greg,
What it means is that for a short filmmaker who wants to develop a career,
if the film shows at one of these festivals, it will most likely be seen by
more professionals in the business than at other festivals and will act as a
"calling card" showing them the talent of the filmmaker.  Certain
professionals, seeking shorts for other reasons also attend Clermont Ferrand
and Oberhausen looking for shorts which fit their needs.
Hope this helps explain why I put them at the top.

All:

Not quite sure why the top 3 festivals for shorts in this list are 3 of the
largest and most successful mainstream feature-length film festivals in the
world. Does that mean that by default they do everything better than
everyone else, regardless of format or genre? Beyond that, it doesn't seem
too feasible to attempt an accurate list of all the short film festivals in
the world, plus all the festivals in the world that have a shorts category.
Most of the lists we are referencing are extremely fragmented and in some
instances have not been updated in five or more years.

Sincerely,

This is great!  Thanks Tyrone.

I give presentations around the world about how young filmmakers can work
the festivals to their career advantage.

Here is some data I have collected and it might help (Keep my in mind for
any panels or classes, I am looking for paying gigs.  I do Talent Campus,
Deutsche Welle, Chapman University, Woodbury University, UCLA Extension
among others - mainly at festivals but not always:




5 Top Festivals for Shorts (But not the only ones!)

1.Cannes Fest(s) and Shorts Corner. May 9 ­ 19, 2013
http://www.cannescourtmetrage.com/uploads/albums/BrochureCCM_12.pdfAlso
during the Cannes Film Festival, the Cinefondation
<http://www.festival-cannes.com/en/cinefoundation.html> has a shorts
competition.
2.Sundance FF.  January 17 ­ 27, 2013
http://www.sundance.org/festival/ or see the winners
<http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/sundance/debutante-hunters-wins-yahoo-sundan
ce-2012-shorts-competition-172532156.html> 2012
3. Berlin Fest and Talent Campus. February 7 ­ 17, 2013
http://www.berlinale.de <http://www.berlinale.de/>
4. Clermont Ferrand Fest and Market. February 1 ­ 9, 2013
http://www.clermont-filmfest.com/index.php?m=129
5. Oberhausen Fest and Market.  May 2 ­ 7, 2013
http://www.kurzfilmtage.de/index.php?id=2147&L=2

Chile has its Santiago Shorts Film Festival de Chile
<http://www.filmfestivalworld.com/festival/Chilean_Intl_Short_Film_Festival
/> as Mexico has Expresión en Corto <http://www.expresionencorto.com/>.
These are not only for Spanish language films and are important industry
events. 

New short film festivals are sprouting up like Zone Horror CUT! Short
Film Competition <http://www.zonehorror.tv/cut.php> which gives a £2,000
award. 

There is also the Filminute Festival <http://www.filminute.com/>.  Film
Independent¹s Los Angeles Film Festival
<http://www.filmindependent.org/content/2010-los-angeles-film-festival-subm
ission-guidelines> takes shorts which then qualify them for Academy Award
nominations, as does LALIFF (Los Angeles Latino International Film
Festival). 


Here are other good sources about shorts, whether spaces for them,
distributors, or buyers:

€100 short film festivals
http://www.raindance.org/worlds-top-short-film-festivals/

€Short films cover a whole range of categories ­ animated, documentary,
experimental, live action, musical, travelogue, fashion, to name a few,
and they allow experiments with cinematic styles and format at the
starting point in careers.

€Research the types of festivals which reach your type of audience
demographic.

€British Council Festival Directory lists 1495 Festivals.
http://film.britishcouncil.org/festivals-directory

€Withoutabox lists more than 5,000.
https://www.withoutabox.com <https://www.withoutabox.com/>

€OpenFilm http://www.openfilm.com/film-festivals/

Hope this is useful!

P.S. Does someone have a good list of festivals for documentaries??
