Official Film Selection Screening Calendar 2021

We’re excited that at last we are able to present a live in person Festival of screenings from our previously postponed 2020 16th Edition. This Festival will consist of primarily the British section of the 2020 event together with some tasters from some of the best films in our International edition that was presented on line in May this year. This latest edition has been re-curated and is now branded as the 17th Edition Kinofilm British Shorts Festival 2021. For those that have submitted to our 17th Edition which was due to take place this winter, please note that has been moved to 2022 and will be rebranded the 18th Edition Kinofilm Manchester International Short Film Festival. Filmmakers that have submitted to that festival will be informed of the success of their entry by Spring 2022.To show our audiences what they missed if not attended our online May edition we are also including a few programmes in this Festival from the international edition; namely the following programmes: LGTBQ, Micro Shorts, Spanish Short, Italian Shorts, Stars in Shorts and our International Award Winners programme, the films that scooped the awards in the May edition.
