The Elgin Short Film Festival (ESFF) is an annual festival with a hybrid event – in-person viewing and a virtual screening option.
Since 2009, the ESFF has become a worldwide competition, with entries from around the globe and prizes going to filmmakers from the US, Canada, Spain, and South Korea. Welcoming an in-house audience as well as those screening the festival from afar, the 2024 ESFF is sure to be another impressive event showcasing the best in short cinema.
We are currently inviting filmmakers to submit their short films (20 minutes or less in length including credits) for competition in our festival. See the website for more information.
