SF Short Film Festival presents:
ANGEL HAIR

Two children pickpocket strangers until one pushes the other into a theft that turns their game dangerously real.

AUDITORY PROBLEMS

Wrapper rage. Slurping fury. Tapping torture. Lisa’s nervous system is under assault. She wants to fight. She wants to flee. She’s got problems . . . Auditory Problems.

DAILY ACTIVE USERS

Three short vignettes about people who are surrounded and consumed by the virtual reality - in their devices and around them.

DEAR UPSTAIRS NEIGHBORS

A young woman desperate for a good night’s sleep is kept awake by her exceedingly noisy neighbors. As she struggles to imagine what could be causing the cacophony upstairs, reality drifts into fantasy, and an epic battle for peace and sanity ensues.

HEATED

A bachelorette party is a fun event to enjoy each other's company in a safe space free from distractions and drama......at least, it should be.

reCAPTURE

A Cyborg man has an existential breakdown as he grapples with the organic and synthetic side of his existence.

GALDR

After joining GALDR, a dating app for magical folk, a young man posing as a Druid matches with a mysterious witch for a seemingly ordinary first date. But as the night unfolds, he’s pulled into a world of danger and magical chaos far beyond what he could have ever expected.

PICTURE PERFECT

When a picture-perfect teen couple hides a violent secret beneath their polished prom smiles, they must each decide whether to keep performing or finally tell the truth about who they are.

The short film— what a perfect genre. Like the perfect snack. Or the very best poem: intensity and imagination distilled down to the most crucial and poignant of words. Short films are the quintessential starting point, and for some filmmakers, the definitive end goal.

The San Francisco International Festival of Short Films was launched in 2006. Since then SF Shorts has showcased incredible engaging independent films that are quick to make a statement, tell a story or express an idea. Recently this festival merged with the 29 year old San Francisco IndieFest, combining SF Shorts' curatorial vision with SF IndieFest's festival presentation expertise. This combined event now presents one week of the best short films from around the world at an historic San Francisco art house theater.
