Welcome to the Close:Up San Francisco Short Film Festival, established in 2020 and organized by HF Productions.
CU SF Short Film Festival aims to provide not only a memorable cinematic experience for audiences, but also an enriching festival event for independent filmmakers. Our main goal is to increase your audience reach and engagement, as well as to further support your development after the festival circuit. We're looking for the most exciting and innovative storytelling in different genres, films that challenge and inspire audiences.
After some difficult months, we have taken the tough decision to move the 2022 edition of the festival online for the safety of all of us.
In this edition, we are happy to present a selection of 19 outsanding films from well-crafted animation, to surreal dramas, light documentaries and odd comedies; films that can make you reflect, feel and connect.
Browse through the film guide below to find out more information about the films in competition and we hope to e-meet you all in May!
