Niseko Shootout Short Film Festival

Social distancing at the 2021 screening of the Niseko Shootout Short Film Fest

The rules for this year's Niseko shootout are bent, but not broken! Organizers are allowing footage created outside of this calendar year to be used in a current short. A retrospective of Niseko soul!

As long as the film is under 5 minutes and remains true to the spirit of Niseko, filmakers from around the world are allowed to enter for a chance to win great prizes.

For inspiration check out last year’s entries HERE.
