About ASFF
Alexandria Short Film Festival is an Oscar-qualifying international short film festival. The festival was founded by the Art Circle Association and supported by the Egyptian Ministry of Culture in order to give filmmakers a chance to present their work to the public. This is in the heart of the city of Alexandria, Egypt, to be a lighthouse of cinema in the world.
The festival’s headquarter is located in Alexandria, but its activities are held in many governorates of Egypt. We also have many activities held in different countries around the world with our partners internationally.
