Dear Filmmakers,

We have received a high demand request from filmmakers asking us to postponed our screening and Awards ceremony this year due to coronavirus.

Accurately calculating the risk of our event happening and the impact of canceling should be among our top priorities since our Awards ceremony and screening suppose to take place at the Directors Guild of America in late March 2020.

Out of an abundance of caution, we are canceling our global 48ISFF Awards due to evolving public health risks related to coronavirus.

The winning 2019 short films will be announced shortly and will be screened along with the winning shorts of 2020 next year at the Directors Guild of America.
