Avalonia Festival of Short Films, etc was created in 2017, inspired by the gothic horror novel A Distance from Avalon – when the Dying and the Dead Reunite by Mike Messier.

During the worldwide pandemic, we introduced the Avalonia Photography Competition online festival to honor still photography.

After eight successful Avalonia Festivals, we added the ALL COMEDY SHORT FILM FESTIVAL and All Horror Short Film Festival to our annual Live Event calendar.

Since magical realism is a huge part of our Avalonia legacy, the ALL HORROR SHORT FILM FESTIVAL has also been launched.

Entries are open for our third season! The earlier you enter, the lower the entry fee.

All Horror Short Film Festival proudly accepts your short film entries on FilmFreeway, the world’s #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.
