Marmaris International Short Film Festival
Marmaris Uluslararası Kısa Film Festivali
The Marmaris International Short Film Festival is a short film event in the resort town of Marmaris, in Muğla Province, Türkiye, and a project of MarmariSANart, a volunteer arts community. It dates back to 2014. Its competitions are national: short fiction, documentary, animation and experimental films compete alongside a separate competition for high school students, while an international screening programme presents shorts from abroad. Category and special jury winners receive the Hemithea Marmaris Pearl Award, and a public jury of viewers chooses its own prize. Screenings and events are free.
In 2019 Marmaris Municipality took the festival under its own organisation; that edition, themed on migration and refugees, held simultaneous screenings in Istanbul, Trondheim, Patara, Kars and Bulanık. The last edition, the sixth, took place on 1–4 October 2020, with screenings at the Marmaris Amphitheatre and online; international submissions were not accepted that year.
