Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival
The Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival celebrates stories told in under six minutes. It’s a one day showcase built for fast, creative filmmaking and a crowd that enjoys quick hits and fresh ideas. The pace is tight, the energy stays high, and the room stays engaged from start to finish.
Hundreds of micro short films screen each year at Limelight Theater in Atlanta. The lineup covers dark comedy, horror, animation, drama, documentary, and experimental work from around the world. Every film lands its idea, moves on, and makes room for the next. It’s simple and fun, and that’s what people like about it.
The festival was created for filmmakers who work lean and tell stories that stick with you. It has also become a go-to spot for audiences in Georgia who want something different. Quick storytelling, sharp execution, and films that never slow down.
Now in its third year, the Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival continues to grow as Georgia’s home for micro shorts. If you want your short film seen by a real crowd, meet other creators, and be part of a day that moves fast, this is the Atlanta short film festival for you.
