The Shorts Industry Shortcut (SIS) is PÖFF Shorts’ industry arm, a stimulating, thought-provoking and inspiring guidance platform for emerging filmmakers.

Its events are conceived to further the careers of future generations of filmmakers and guide them on the short film circuit. They also follow current trends in (short) film, strengthen the ties between the Baltic and International short film communities and meet the needs of the global film industry.

SIS is aimed at local, regional and international emerging filmmakers with 1 or 2 films under their belt and filmmakers with films in PÖFF Shorts’ Competition and sidebar programs, both in live action and animation, international short film programmers and industry professionals.
