Direct answer
What is the Shortfundly Short Film Screening Competition 2026?
The Shortfundly Short Film Screening Competition 2026 is an entry-based program where filmmakers register, submit a film, and may be shortlisted for theater screening and related opportunities.
- Entry starts from ₹1000
- Deadline: 31 May 2026 (limited entries)
- Top 5 Short Film will be screened in Theater
- Listing in Shortfundly OTT worth ₹3,000 for top 25 Shortfilms
- Screening team seats (competition): Up to 25 seats for each film screening team — different from the paid Kamala program’s 50 seats.
- The ₹50,000 competition benefit requires clarification in the official terms. Public pages have described both a “win ₹50,000” framing and a co-producing opportunity up to ₹50,000. Until official terms confirm the meaning, do not treat ₹50,000 as a confirmed cash prize.
