The Aesthetica Short Film Festival (ASFF) is an international film festival which takes place annually in York, England, at the beginning of November. Founded in 2011, it is a celebration of independent film from around the world, and an outlet for supporting and championing filmmaking.
ASFF is also a BAFTA-Qualifying festival, meaning short films that are screened may be eligible for a BAFTA award.
The festival is hosted by art and culture magazine Aesthetica Magazine, and is supported by York St John University, London College of Communication and the British Film Institute.
