Kinofilm Manchester International Short Film Fest

Kinofilm™ has a unique reputation for showcasing the best short films and debut features from around the world and is  renowned for seeking out diverse, challenging and groundbreaking new films. The festival maintains a high standard with British Short Films and European & International award-winning shorts featured in the Festival. It includes special programmes in low/no budget shorts, North West Shorts, British Shorts, European Shorts, International Panorama, Kino Exposed (student and youth shorts), and Kino Animation, giving new and emerging filmmakers the opportunity to have their work screened alongside that of critically acclaimed, established short filmmakers. The festival also screens new debut features by filmmakers that have made the transition from short film to feature or have entered the feature industry from other creative platforms, such as music video, commercials, TV drama or Theatre.

In addition to the festival, we champion the art and diversity of short film with our bi-monthly short film event KINO SHORTS in collaboration with The Mini-Cine at Ducie Street Warehouse, with occasional debut feature screenings and film education events.

We are proud to present this year's festival the 19th edition from 10th, & 13th till 18th May 2024 celebrating 29 years of Kinofilm Manchester.
