The 2025 Loveland Shorts Film Festival will be held August 1, 2, 3. We will begin accepting submissions for the 2025 festival on 2/1/25.
The Loveland Shorts Film Festival is a celebration of passionate and creative filmmaking. Our mission is to provide a platform for independent filmmakers to showcase their work, connect with fellow artists, and engage with the local community. We believe in the power of film to transform, inspire, and entertain, and we are dedicated to promoting diverse voices and perspectives in cinema.

FADE IN: EXT. LOVELAND, OHIO
Everything about this city is lovely and inviting. The shops, the park, the walking/bike path, the restaurants, the river that gently winds its way through it, and the people - making you feel right at home as they go about their day.I'm so pleased that I submitted my film Grey to the inaugural Loveland Shorts Film Festival. Gary, Mark, Kelly, Dan, and the rest of the LSFF team did a fantastic job. The festival ran smoothly. The screenings were very well attended with audiences that were deeply engaged and stayed for the Q&As following each screening block. The after parties allowed plenty of time for filmmakers to get to know one another. The Sunday morning award ceremony was also well attended and the awards themselves were beautiful. I have no doubt that this festival will become one of the premiere short film festival destinations. And I will forever be proud that our film, Grey, was awarded the Best of the Fest award in such a special place.
We are proud to partner with local businesses and organizations that share our commitment to the arts and the community. Our partners provide essential support for the festival, and we are grateful for their generosity and collaboration.
