About

Celebrating short films on the big screen, As iFF (All Shorts Irvington Film Festival) is a curated international film festival that presents live action, animated, and documentary short films. Official Selections are chosen from hundreds of submissions by filmmakers from around the world. Jury prizes are awarded in a va­ri­ety of cat­e­gories by As iF­F’s Ad­vi­sory Board (com­pris­ing highly-ac­claimed film ed­i­tors, an­i­ma­tors, writ­ers, ac­tors, di­rec­tors, and pro­duc­ers); au­di­ence mem­bers vote for their fa­vorite short at the end of the evening.

As iFF is presented as a one-night-only event in a majestic, 430-seat, historic theater overlooking the Hudson River, just north of New York City. Each festival sells out to an audience of film enthusiasts, garnering extensive press coverage and offering each selected film exceptional visibility. As iFF has featured never-before-seen world premieres, United States and New York premieres, student works, and shorts that have won prizes at other international festivals.

A festive after-party follows each screening where audience members can participate in lively discussions with directors and actors. Filmmakers value this rare opportunity to see their work on the big screen alongside a thoroughly engaged, film-loving audience.
