Short+Sweet is the biggest 10 minute performing arts festival in the world with events in 30+ cities across 10 countries. We've been around for 20 years with the first S+S Theatre Festival in Sydney Australia in 2002 and to date have presented over 5,000 original new works in Theatre, Music and Dance. We started presenting Theatre Festivals in New Delhi in 2010 and since then have expanded to Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata plus occasional and touring programs in a host of other cities.
Now the first ever Short+Sweet Film Festival is finally in India with the inaugural program in Chennai. Our Festival Director is Mathivanan Rajendran, the multi-talented and award winning director, writer, actor and Artistic Director of Stray Factory.
