Incheon International Short Film Festival is an initiative-based festival project created to bring together emerging creative talents from different parts of the world. The project was founded by a group of creatives with a shared interest in contemporary visual storytelling and independent artistic practices.

The initiative focuses on acknowledging and presenting diverse creative works and perspectives, and aims to document ongoing experiments across short film and related visual media. Rather than operating as a traditional competitive event, the project provides a framework for participation, presentation, and recognition.

Through this initiative, creators are invited to engage with the project and share their work in a spirit of openness, exchange, and mutual respect. Participation acknowledgements, including laurels and certificates, may be issued as part of the project’s recognition activities, and related listings may be presented through the project’s official communication channels.
