2020 PALM SPRINGS INTERNATIONAL SHORTFEST ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL SELECTION


Palm Springs, CA (June 4, 2020) - Palm Springs International ShortFest has selected 332 short films in their Official Selection that will be eligible for jury award consideration. These films represent 69 countries and were selected from more than 6,000 submissions received this year. As previously announced, while ShortFest will not hold an in-person event, a number of the official selection films will be available to screen for free online from June 16-22, 2020. A list of screening films and the complete  line-up is available at www.psfilmfest.org and a list of the official selection films are included at the end of the release.  

"Pivoting online has not been an easy decision for any organization to make, but we're happy to bring ShortFest to an audience while keeping our patrons, staff and filmmakers safe," said Artistic Director Lili Rodriguez. "We've had our filmmakers in mind through this entire process and are looking forward to sharing the stories and voices that so moved us."

"We are thrilled to be able to mount ShortFest virtually during these challenging times," said ShortFest Directors of Programming Linton Melita and Sudeep Sharma. "Although it is a shame we cannot welcome audiences in person later this month, it is no small consolation to have the privilege to share the work of these incredible filmmakers in what we feel might be the best lineup the festival has ever had."
