Our festival is a celebration of storytelling through the powerful medium of film. We invite filmmakers from diverse backgrounds to showcase their unique perspectives, bringing together a rich tapestry of voices and experiences. Our mission is to foster connections within the creative community and elevate underrepresented voices in the cinematic landscape. Join us as we champion the art of filmmaking, highlight diversity in storytelling, and create a platform where every voice can be heard.

Here are the current entries for the 2024 competition.

Calling all filmmakers! The Las Vegas Filipino Short Film Festival 2024 invites both Filipino and non-Filipino filmmakers to join our celebration of storytelling and culture.

We welcome submissions from filmmakers of Filipino descent and those with Filipino-themed films, as well as non-Filipino filmmakers who explore the Filipino experience or culture. This festival is a platform for all storytellers to connect with a diverse audience and showcase their talents.

Selected films will be screened during the festival, offering exposure to fellow filmmakers, industry professionals, and audiences. Awards will be given to outstanding films in various categories, recognizing your talent and dedication.

By participating, you contribute to a greater cause, with a portion of proceeds supporting the Fil-Am Scholarship Foundation and Outreach Services programs, benefitting the Filipino community in Nevada and the Philippines.

Join us and let your film be part of a unique, inclusive cinematic experience that bridges cultures and celebrates the power of storytelling. Submit your work today!

Maraming Salamat Po!
