This is the second SFSS produced by Curzon Soho and follows from the very successful inaugural Festival in July 2005. It proved to be arguably the most important platform for the rapidly expanding short film industry in London and the UK. Events are aimed at people of all ability and ages.

SFSS will provide training and skill-building opportunities, workshops, showcases, presentations, masterclasses, short film screenings and networking opportunities. It provides a much needed focal point to bring together all of the organisations that currently make the short film industry happen.
