Festival Description:

The ISFFL annually presents a wide selection of high quality short films, short live-action as well as short animated films, short documentaries, short experimental films and music videos.

The Flemish and European short film competition are central to the festival, which has been functioning as a Flemish and International film talent scouting for many years. Every year, approximately 8 jury- and audience prizes are awarded. What is more, the ISFFL presents a series of retrospective programs and specials every year.

Half of the festival's program consists of Flemish short films, the other half of foreign – mainly European – shorts. The festival is very well integrated in the European festival world, and welcomes many foreign guests (directors, distributors, sales agents and colleague organisators) every year.

Since 2004, the organization of school screenings (during the festival as well as throughout the year) has become a part of the festival's work.The festival organises a big European short film competition in which two awards wil be granded: a Jury Award (2.500 euro) and a Audience Award (1.500 euro)
