The Singapore Shorts Film Festival is a curated festival aimed at championing the independent spirit of the short film format, and will reflect the diversity of an international selection of short films. Artistic merit and quality of the films will be the foremost consideration in the selection of entrants for the festival.
Six films from the total number of films screened during the festival will be nominated to vie for the festival's 'Voice Awards'. Of which, three will be awarded the 'Voice Awards' based on audience votes during the screenings in recognition of the short film's originality and quality.
About The Substation Ltd
Founded in 1990, The Substation, a non-profit organisation, is Singapore's first multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural centre for contemporary arts in Singapore. A 'Home For The Arts', The Substation is the "birthplace" of many artists and where one can be creative and broaden his/her thinking space. The Substation encourages artists to take risks and not be afraid to fail. It is a home where people perform, exhibit, experiment, teach, learn and create. Over the years, it has staged more than 1,000 events for some 250,000 people from all walks of life. The Substation is also plugged into a network of international arts organisations to encourage cross-fertilisation of ideas and the facilitation of understanding between the various cultures.
The Substation initiates and produces its own arts events. These annual events are:
- DanceSpace - experimental and original dance
- New Criteria - contemporary visual arts
- The Substation Sessions - formerly MusicSpace; a mixture of spoken word and music events
- SeptFest - a month-long arts festival including an annual arts conference
- Forum for the Arts - series of talks by specialists

In November 2001, The Substation launched Buds Youth Theatre, part of its Education and Outreach programme.
The Substation also adopts one or two promising artists in any discipline as Artists-In-Residence and provides them with logistical and financial support, as well as presents their works.
In addition, The Substation offers courses on drama, dance, photography, yoga, and traditional and contemporary arts appreciation. It also rents out its various facilities - theatre, gallery, garden, dance studio and rooms - to the public and arts groups.
