II : Short Film
SONSGALLERY (formerly Art Gallery J316) currently invites artists submitting independent films from anywhere in the world, to be screened at the monthly exhibition of our gallery. As an endeavor to contribute to the advancement of our contemporary art society, we have planned short-film exhibitions. These exhibitions will provide an opportunity to promote the art of short filmmaking. We especially encourage the submission of low-budget films from amateur directors, as Sonsgallery’s purpose is to offer a chance to exhibit artworks which align with their objectives of independent filmmaking.
Sonsgallery welcomes submissions of short films of almost every category. Please, remember when you submit your film(s) that the selected films will be screened during the exhibition. For more detailed information about submission, please, read the prospectus carefully before submitting your works.
For this exhibition, we have decided on various themes as the short-film theme. Additionally, works selected for Sonsgallery's exhibition of short films may be eligible for the Sonsgallery Award and the Audience Award.
