# Shortfilmdepot

> Shortfilmdepot is a submission platform for short films. Filmmakers use it to find festivals and submit their work. Festivals use it to receive and manage entries. It's been running since 2004.

## About

Shortfilmdepot handles the connection between short filmmakers and festival programmers. You create a free account, register your films once, and submit them to festivals around the world using a stamp-based payment system (1 to 4 stamps per submission, packs start at a few euros). The platform lists festivals in over 100 countries, from Oscar-qualifying events to regional showcases.

Festivals listed on Shortfilmdepot sign an ethical charter: they commit to watching submitted films and communicating selection results.

## How It Works

2. **Register your film.** Add title, synopsis, duration, cast and crew, trailer, and screening copy. You can register multiple films and update them anytime.
