年初突如其来的失序，让原本的日常蒙上了一份不确定性。然生活无常，正如酷儿无常。当人与人之间出现恐惧，我们唯有坚持以爱与善意消弭恐惧。在这个期待日常如常的时刻，我们希望能让这份等待多一份期待。
2020年，上海酷儿影展依旧不会缺席。一如既往，我们将以备受瞩目的短片单元征片开启新一年的活动之旅。
每一年的短片单元，我们都从世界各地征片，让影人与观众之间通过银幕完成一场又一场光影之间的对话。去年，我们从亚洲、欧洲、大洋洲、南北美洲收到近200部投片，囊括了剧情、纪录、动画、音乐、实验等多种类型，其中更有三分之一的投片为导演处女作。
我们相信，精彩的酷儿故事每时每刻都在世间的每个角落发生着，而其中的每一颗灵魂、每一种生活，都值得被演绎、被纪录、被放映；我们同样相信，优秀的影人与作品，一定值得与更多观众相遇。这是上海酷儿影展设立短片单元的初衷，直至今日，我们从未改变。
即日起，2020上海酷儿影展短片单元征片正式启动。今年我们将遵循往届的标准，分设“亚洲短片竞赛”与“世界短片展映”两个单元。无论是从相近的故事中发现自我，亦或自陌生的故事里寻求共鸣，我们期待多元的酷儿万象。
如果你的影片以亚洲LGBTQIA+内容为主，或含有相当分量的内容元素，请报名参加2020上海酷儿影展“亚洲短片竞赛”；如果你的影片中没有亚洲元素，但满足LGBTQIA+主题，请报名参加2020上海酷儿影展“世界短片展映”。
征片截止日期为2020年6月30日。

The sudden disorder brought by the coronavirus has cast a shadow of uncertainty in our lives. However, just as life is unpredictable, queerness is also undefinable. When fear appears among people, the only thing we can insist on is dispelling it with love and kindness. While we await a return to normalcy, we hope to give you something worth waiting for.
In 2020, SHQFF will still be with you. As always, we are kicking off this year’s festival with the highly anticipated SHQFF Shorts Event.
Every year, we receive Shorts submission from all over the world, helping build the connection between filmmakers and audiences on the silver screen. Last year, we received nearly 200 submission from Asia, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas, covering a wide range of genres including drama, documentary, animation, music, experimentation, and more, with one third of the submission being directorial debuts.
We believe that wonderful queer stories happen at every moment in every corner of the world. Each and every one of them is worthy of being interpreted, documented, and screened. We also believe that outstanding filmmakers and their works deserve to be seen and heard by a wider audience. These are, and have always been, our core beliefs.
We are now kicking off the 2020 open call for SHQFF Shorts submission.
Following last year’s tradition, this year you may submit your short film to either one of the two short film categories: the Asian Short Film Competition or the World Short Film Screening. Whether it’s discovering oneself in familiar stories or seeking resonance in unfamiliar ones, we look forward to seeing the queer spectrum through your lens.
If your LGBTQIA+ story is set in Asia or features characters with Asian backgrounds, please submit to the Asian Short Film Competition. If your film is about LGBTQIA+ experiences but not Asia-themed, please submit your entry to the World Short Film Screening.
This year’s SHQFF Shorts submission deadline is June 30th.
You can submit your film through our FilmFreeway account (https://filmfreeway.com/shqff) or on our website here.
