About 48Isff

Our Humble Beginning

Frаnсеѕсо Vitаli & Chris Siametis are the founders оf thе 48Film Festival, one of the most potent International Short film festivals in the world. For more than a decade, we help filmmakers to break it into the hard filmmaking business and have the chance to showcase their unique talent at the heart of the filming industry in Hollywood in front of the movers and shakers in the film business.

Over the last years, 48FILM Festival introduced the 48ISFF.
After 12 YEARS operating the 48FILM, we have decided to create a short film festival, so freely filmmakers worldwide to submit their entries, without time limits or required elements. And here, we are presenting the 48 Independent Short Film Festival (48ISFF), with perks and awards for the top winning films.
We are grateful to all the filmmakers who have shared their stories through 48FILM Project, and we are very honored and blessed to have discovered talented artists around the world using our film competition platform. We are highly encouraging our filmmakers to continue pursuing their dreams, and exposing their fantastic talent, also through the new 48 Independent Short Film Festival (48ISFF).
