International Short Film Day

The Short Film Day originated in France in 2012 as a celebration of short films and their diverse range of styles and themes. The event has seen a steep increase in participation, with over fifty countries now taking part worldwide. Screenings are held in various locations to reach a wider audience, with each participating venue having the freedom to design its own event.

In 2016, Lithuania became a part of the Short Film Day celebration. At the initiative of “Lithuanian Shorts” agency cinema enthusiasts can enjoy a diverse range of the best Lithuanian and foreign short films through various short film programs. In the week leading up to 21 December, agency organizes special screenings for kids in educational institutions, schools, and public libraries. Additionally, it showcases an extraordinary program called WTF for adults and streams short films on national TV. 

Apart from special screenings, “Lithuanian Shorts” also awards a monetary prize to a Lithuanian short film that has been presented in the most film festivals. The prize is initiated by the Audio-visual works copyright association AVAKA.
