SHIBUYA WARD, Japan, March 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Short Shorts Film Festival &
Asia (SSFF & ASIA) 2024, one of Asia's largest international short film
festivals accredited by the US Academy Awards®, will be held from
June 4 (Tue) to June 17 (Mon) at multiple venues in Tokyo and online. The online venue will start
streaming a part of the program from April
25 (Thu).

4,936 submissions from 114 countries and
regions!
112 AI-based short film submissions
Because of their time scale, short films can nimbly reflect the
"now'' of the world as witnessed by the filmmaker on topics such as
war, disaster, migration and gender.
This year began with news of ongoing conflicts and disasters.
SSFF & ASIA will present films
that illuminate "life," "living" and the "world" that surrounds
them under the theme "Illuminate Your Life." We hope these films
will shine a light on the lives of viewers, creating a place where
empathy, discovery, and emotion are ignited, and an opportunity to
open one's eyes to the world.
For the first time in the history of the festival, there will be
a short film produced entirely by AI, a story set in a Palestinian
refugee camp, a documentary made from smartphone footage of
survivors of a missile attack, and a film that appeals to
diversity, depicted against the backdrop of religious and cultural
differences.
The complete SSFF & ASIA
2024 lineup will be announced on Thu April
25, including the five categories that will be nominated for
next year's Academy Awards (Live Action, Nonfiction, and
Animation).
First ever online marketplace for short film creators &
contents
A contest for festival promotional video, the
winner of which will be decided by NFT voting
Last year, SSFF & ASIA
launched LIFE LOG BOX, a platform for the asset management of
creators.
The 2024 festival will launch an online market for the first time,
connecting the works of creators who have participated in the
festival in the past with distributors, online platforms,
broadcasters and film festivals, and create business opportunities
for both parties.
In addition, the Illuminate SSFF & ASIA 2024 Movie Contest, a promotional
video contest for SSFF & ASIA
2024, will be held in conjunction with the Festival and LIFE LOG
BOX. NFT voting will determine the winner, which will be announced
at the Festival's opening ceremony on June
4 (Tue).
