6th Ooty Short Film Festival (Ooty SFF)
December 27-29, 2024

The Nilgiris Film Club (NFC) is thrilled to announce the 6th edition of the Ooty Short Film Festival (Ooty SFF), scheduled to take place from December 27th to 29th, 2024. We cordially invite filmmakers from across the globe to join us in celebrating the art of independent short films in the picturesque mountains of the Western Ghats.

About the Festival
Since its inception, Ooty SFF has grown into a vibrant platform for showcasing exceptional short films. Our carefully curated sections feature some of the most remarkable experimental and artist-made short films, ensuring a diverse and inspiring cinematic journey for all attendees.

In 2024, we are excited to introduce a new initiative: the Green Elephant Award for the best short film focusing on environmental themes. This award celebrates the vital role filmmakers play in raising awareness about pressing global environmental challenges, including climate change, conservation, and sustainability.

Our Vision
At Ooty SFF, we strive to curate a program that embodies unique and original artistic visions. Our focus is on short films that boldly push the boundaries of both form and concept, opening up numerous avenues for interpretation and understanding.

We have a special interest in works by emerging filmmakers and artist-made shorts, believing that these voices bring fresh and innovative perspectives to the cinematic landscape.

Opportunities for Filmmakers
Ooty SFF is more than just a screening platform. We provide filmmakers with:

A platform to share their work with a discerning audience
Exposure to diverse filmmaking styles and narratives
Opportunities to be part of a growing community of independent filmmakers
Recognition through our Golden Elephant Awards for Indian filmmakers and digital awards (NFTs) for international filmmakers, ensuring both physical and modern digital forms of recognition
Submit Your Film
We welcome submissions from filmmakers of all backgrounds and experiences. If you have a short film that challenges conventions, explores new territories, or tells a compelling story in an innovative way, we want to see it!

Join us for the 6th Ooty Short Film Festival and be part of a celebration of cinematic creativity in the heart of the Nilgiris.

The Ooty Short Film Festival is produced by the Nilgiris Film Club (NFC), a pioneering film club nestled in the mountains of the Western Ghats.
