Voting rights for the contest will be distributed to the general public in LIFE LOG BOX, a visual image management platform launched together with last year’s SSFF & ASIA, to accept votes from creators and audiences.
The short clip that receives the most votes and is selected by the festival committee will be screened at SSFF & ASIA 2024 ceremony in June.
[ Short Clip’s Theme ]
The theme is "Illuminate Your Life", which can be expressed by using the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2024 logo downloaded from the website below.

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.
