The Shawna Shea Film Festival (SSFF) is a fringe independent international film festival. We love quirky and experimental films as much as we love straight narratives. All are welcome.
Established in 2012 the SSFF is a fundraiser for the Shawna E Shea Memorial Foundation Inc, a 501(c)(3), to honor Shawna's unique independent spirit by highlighting truly independent films that share the same quality.
The funds raised from the festival go towards scholarships and fellowships, including a Women in Film Fellowship.
Every year we have an opening night networking party and on the closing night we have an awards ceremony and party with food and a band. It is a party!

We are producing this Festival as we were making a film — to gather a real audience in front of the screen and make them love what they see.

The screenings take place exclusively on the big screen, in theatres or outdoors, for an audience as faithful as it is fervent.
The Très Courts are divided into six selections, two of which are in Competition: International Competition, Women's Words Competition, French Selection, Family Selection, Documentary Selection, and the Laugh(before the end of the world) Selection.

La Palma, the green heart in Canary Islands, is suffering a catastrophe generated by the vulcanic eruption in Cumbre Vieja.

Cinema Camp Film Festival is a short film festival open to filmmakers from all over the world that has a double function: on one hand, serve as a platform for the dissemination of the short film in those places where it does not have much presence, and on the other hand, to function as an educational and formative tool, allowing the young spectators, who mostly make up their audience, to learn and draw inspiration from the visualization of the different cinematographic works.
The functioning of the festival, open to all types of audiences, is very simple: among all the short films received, a final selection will be made, which will be the one screened in the different sessions of the festival (which will take place in different Spanish cities at throughout the summer). Assistants to each of these projections will be the ones in charge of choosing their favoire short film. The short film that gets the most votes will win the Best Short Film Award of the festival.
Likewise, a specialized jury formed by professionals from the cinematographic sector will grant the different special mentions: Best Direction, Best Photography, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor/Actress.
