New York Short Cinema Awards

The New York Short Cinema Awards is committed to short films, independent filmmaking, and arthouse cinema.

We have a deep passion for short films and have proudly showcased a remarkable and varied selection of short films at our live events at the Producers Club theatre in recent years.

Additionally, we have launched an IMDb qualifying seasonal competition that acts as a precursor to our annual screening events. In this popular competition, we select, nominate, and honor artists producing a diverse array of shorts from across the globe. Our mission is to amplify the voices of short filmmakers, ensuring their unique contributions to the film industry are celebrated and valued by audiences and industry professionals.

Our goal is to identify and celebrate artists who produce short films every season, and each year, we showcase films from around the globe in the genres of fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, sci-fi, and comedy.
