SALUTE YOUR SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL
August 22 - September 5, 2020
Los Angeles, CA
SYSFF was founded with the goal of creating an intimate experience with impeccable programming, where every decision is made with the filmmakers in mind. We program thought-provoking, conversation-starting stories that align with our mantra: Films with an Aftertaste. Whether they are shot on the iPhone or the Alexa, we love shorts of every genre and seek to share a slate of films that represents the diverse & distinct voices in our world today.

AWARDS BLOCK
CONGRATS to all our winners! Read about the awards each film won on our website and enjoy these awesome films through September 5th. Don’t forget, most filmmakers have provided pre-taped Q&A videos!
BLOCK 1
Each of our shorts blocks is designed to take our audiences on a full-spectrum emotional journey. We sprinkle in a little of everything - drama, comedy, documentary, experimental, genre, and international flavor. What unites these films and makes them part of our lineup? We have found that they all have aftertaste. Curious to learn more? Check out pre-taped filmmaker Q&As. And don’t forget to vote in our audience survey!
