The shnit International Shortfilmfestival is a premier venue for the exhibition and promotion of short films. Once upon-a-time, shnit International Shortfilmfestival was safely confined within the Swiss borders. It has since become an exceptional event with a unique concept – a transnational film festival simultaneously taking place in eight cities on five continents worldwide. shnit is dedicated to celebrating and sharing with audiences the exciting world of short film. We embrace diversity, originality and exchange between creators and an ever growing audience across the globe. It therefore is our aim to actively increase the awareness of short filmmaking by creating a multi-platform event for high quality short films. With its cinematic treats, the popular festival fascinates more than 37,500 visitors worldwide. Today shnit belongs amongst the leading short film festivals in the world.
