The Haifa International Film Festival has been accepted into the exclusive roster of international film festivals, where the winner of the Short Film Competition is eligible to compete at the Academy Awards.
From this year’s edition, the winner of the Best Israeli Independent Short Feature will be eligible to compete for the Best Short Film at the Academy Awards. The achievement is significant as the eligibility for consideration exempts the film from the Academy’s requirements of theatrical distribution in the United States.
Good luck to all participants!
