Over the past two decades, the Indonesian film industry has experienced significant growth. Despite this progress, many filmmakers still face gaps in skills, knowledge, and access to professional opportunities.<\/p>\n
Founded in 2024, Shorts Up was created to help bridge these gaps by supporting emerging talents who lack access to opportunities, resources, and essential information needed to develop their short film projects.<\/p>\n
Shorts Up is driven by a mission to foster fresh perspectives and greater diversity within the short film landscape, while strengthening the broader Southeast Asian cinema ecosystem. By empowering new voices, the program aims to enrich and expand the presence of Indonesian cinema on the global stage.<\/p>\n
Each year, Shorts Up selects production teams consisting of writers and producers to participate in a structured series of program activities. The program guides emerging Indonesian filmmakers as they take their first steps into the industry, beginning with the development and design of their short film productions.<\/p>\n
By offering early-career filmmakers the opportunity to grow within a supportive, inspiring, and creative environment, Shorts Up has become an integral part of Indonesia\u2019s broader cultural advancement movement.<\/p>\n
