Our Mission
Cinema Without
Borders.
Stories Without
Gatekeepers.

The Film Street exists to give independent short films the audience they deserve. We believe the most powerful stories often come from the least-seen places — and we're building a platform to change that.

We're not an algorithm. Every film on The Film Street will be there because a human being watched it, believed in it, and chose to share it with the world. No popularity contests. No pay-to-play. No compromise on quality.

We're starting from zero — and we want to fill this platform with the world's most extraordinary short films. That starts with you.

What Makes Us Different
Built for the
Select Few
01
Zero Fees. Forever.
Submitting your film costs nothing. Watching costs nothing. We will never charge filmmakers or audiences — our belief is that great cinema should have no barriers to entry.
02
Exclusive 50/50 Partnership
We operate on an exclusive 50/50 revenue-share model. Your film is screened privately on our platform — protected, curated, and presented to the right audiences. A true partnership where we grow together.
03
Every Film, Personally Reviewed
Our curatorial team watches every submission. We respond within 6–8 weeks with real feedback — because filmmakers deserve honest, human engagement, not an automated reject.
04
No Borders, No Bias
We accept films from every country, in every language, of every genre. English subtitles are the only requirement. We're actively seeking voices from underrepresented regions.
05
A Real Audience
We're building a genuine community of short-film lovers — people who seek out films specifically because they're short, independent, and bold. Your film will find its people here.
06
Festival & Industry Links
We're building partnerships with festivals, distributors, and industry scouts. Films on The Film Street will be seen by people who can take them further.

All Countries Welcome
We're actively seeking films from Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East — anywhere stories are being told but rarely seen.

All Genres. All Forms.
Drama, comedy, documentary, animation, experimental, horror, sci-fi, romance — we have no genre bias. We care about craft and perspective, not category.
