SHORT FILM AWARDS

The short film format has always been a crucial part of the festival, acting as both a showcase for future talent, and as an art form in its own right. For 2023, the Dublin International Film Festival is proud to host its largest programme of short films to date, with three programmes dedicated to the best Irish short films of the past twelve months, together with an additional three strands highlighting some of the most significant recent International work. The Short Film Awards recognise the best Irish and International shorts in the programme, as chosen by our jury
