San Francisco Arthouse Short Festival is happy to welcome filmmakers from all over the world and short films of all genres. Our main goal is to showcase their brilliant projects for a diverse audience of cinephiles. It is a world-class event committed to present the best of this beautiful art called 'Cinema' and dedicated to all generations of filmmakers. The festival has an online structure. First of all, through "private" screenings, a team of professional screeners will evaluate all the submitted short films during each season. All the highest scored films will be reviewed by at least three judges who will decide through "private" screenings the best of each season. All the winners will receive the Official Laurels and the winning-category certificate for each season. We will announce the winners of each season through our social media. Winner will be screened free to the public at the Balboa Theater!
