The 4th Ningbo Short Film Festival

The Ningbo Short Film Festival is one of the biggest and most lavish short film festivals around featuring huge cash prizes and an incredible gala event, broadcast live on Chinese TV. We are looking for good quality short films covering a wide variety of subjects, themes, places and people. We are looking for films from around the world. There is every reason to believe we are looking for you, and your film. Ningbo is a beautiful, modern coastal town just south of Shanghai. Although our festival is big in China, we have not been blessed with the wide variety of foreign short films we are really looking for until now and that is why we hope you will submit your film to our festival. This year our festival’s theme is “Harmony” and our award is the Golden Conch Shell: a great addition to any mantelpiece, we’re sure. We are offering some very special investment incentives also this year: Bodi Film Industry and Jinbo Investment, a joint strategic cooperative organization of the Organizing Committee of Ningbo International Short Film Festival, will select two award-winners each with an investment of no less than 1 million RMB (US$141, 200 at the time of writing) on their next project. The next project can be an extension of the award winning short film, perhaps extending it out into a full feature. The film will receive no less than 1 million in direct investment. Other partners of the Organizing Committee of Ningbo International Short Film Festival may be involved in the investment &this can be discussed at a later time. One of the winners is the Golden Snail Award for Best Short Film, the other is selected from the Best Director Award, the Best Cellphone Short Film, the Best Drama Short Film, the Best Female Short Film, the Best Animated Short Film, the Best Creative Short Film Award and the Best Script Award. Sfilmmaker is our exclusive platform for cooperation, We hope to see your submission soon!
