Atlanta Micro Short Film Fest
Short Films with Big Impact
The Atlanta Micro Short Film Festival returns May 16, 2026 at Limelight Theater. We screen hundreds of micro short films all under six minutes. It’s one full day of fast stories that get straight to the point.
Micro shorts move quick with no filler. You’ll see dark comedies, horror, animation, drama, documentary, experimental work, and everything in between. Each film hits fast, lands its idea, and makes room for the next.
ATL Micro is built for now. Shorter attention spans, sharper ideas, and new ways to tell stories. This is filmmaking focused on creativity, emotion, and impact.
If you make micro short films or you love watching them, this is your festival.
