INTERNATIONAL SHORTS

Once upon a time…films from all over the world came together on a glorious cinematic battlefield. Victory would be for one of them. However, there would be no losers, because talent and art are there to be celebrated, to be loved and to be devoured by you…the audience. This battle would forever be known as Kaboom’s International Short Film Competition. And we are honoured to organise that competition year in year out. Again in 2025, a large number of short films will battle it out for our coveted awards!
