Short Film
A short film is any motion picture that is short enough in running time not to be considered a feature film. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits". In the United States, short films were generally termed short subjects from the 1920s into the 1970s when confined to two 35 mm reels or less, and featurettes for a film of three or four reels. "Short" was an abbreviation for either term. The increasingly rare industry term "short subject" carries more of an assumption that the film is shown as part of a presentation along with a feature film. Short films are often screened at local, national, or international film festivals and made by independent filmmakers with either a low budget or no budget at all. They are usually funded by film grants, nonprofit organizations, sponsor, or personal funds. Short films are generally used for industry experience and ...

Filmfest Dresden
Filmfest Dresden (''Dresden Film Festival'') is an international short film festival since 1989 based in Dresden, Germany. The focus of the competition is on short feature films and animated films. When the Filmfest Dresden was held for the first time before the fall of the Berlin Wall, it was used to present films that were previously banned or rarely shown in the GDR to the public. After the German reunification, the focus of the festival had to change. Since DEFA's animation studios were located in Dresden, the decision was made to use the concept of a short and animation festival. The international competition of the festival has existed since 1992 and 1998, followed by the establishment of its own national competition, in which the €20,000 promotional prize of the Saxon State Minister for Culture and Tourism has been awarded since 2004. With a total of more than €67,000 in prize money, Filmfest Dresden is one of the best endowed short film festivals in Europe. The awa ...
