Atlanta Micro Shorts

Big Ideas. Small Packages. One Unforgettable Day.

The Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival is back for its third year, doing what no other festival in the city does: packing over 200 ultra-short films into a single day of rapid-fire storytelling.

Every May at Limelight Theater, the festival celebrates the art of saying more with less. It gives filmmakers and audiences a one-of-a-kind experience built for speed, creativity, and impact.

Now in its third year, the Micro Short Film Festival is carving out its own space in Atlanta’s film scene, spotlighting a format that’s fast, fresh, and full of possibilities.


Films That Get Right to It

Microshorts are films under six minutes, often under two. There’s no time to waste and no space for filler. Every second matters. That’s what makes this festival so different. It’s a high-energy run of ideas, emotions, and surprises.

From dark comedy and animation to horror, drama, and experimental work, this year’s lineup includes films from around the world. Each one hits quick and makes room for the next. It’s fast, diverse, and unpredictable in the best way.


A Format Built for Now

Shorter attention spans and new platforms have changed the way stories are told. Microshorts are part of that shift. They show how filmmakers are adapting, thinking sharper, and working leaner to connect in new ways.

The Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival is built around that approach. It highlights creators who can grab your attention, tell a full story, and leave a mark - all in just a few minutes.


A Festival with Real Energy

This isn’t just a bunch of short films. It’s a full-on experience where the pace stays up, the crowd stays in it, and the creativity never lets up. It’s the kind of day that reminds you how much can be done with just a good idea and a few minutes of screen time.


Whether you're a filmmaker looking to be seen or a film lover looking for something different, this is the kind of festival that delivers.

In just three years, it’s already proven that small films can leave a big impact.
