National short-film panoramas and focused social themes define BigBang International Short Film Festival in Athens, Greece. Organized by t-shOrt and hosted online by shortfilm.gr, the festival combines cinema screenings with an online audience vote. Its programmes encompass fiction, documentary and animation, alongside early films by established directors. The Pan-Hellenic Distribution Award connects selected shorts with cinemas and film clubs across Greece.
The latest edition in the festival archive is the Romanian Short Film Panorama, with cinema dates of 7–9 June 2019 at the Greek Film Archive. Its additional thematic programme focuses on health, and its online screening and voting period is 1–31 July 2019.
