International Short Film Conference
The ISFC has been in existence since 1970 as non-profit association for the promotion of the short film. Since that time, interest in shorts has grown dramatically and the ISFC now includes over sixty members from all over the world.

The ISFC is the only international organization in the world seeking to unite the global short film community. Since its early days, the ISFC has extended its activities considerably, but the basic idea remains the same as at its inception:
“To enable the different players in the short film world to work together and share their experience in an informal, non-political and flexible atmosphere.”
