Oneof the greatest honors for a short film is recognition from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences. Oscar rules have undergone several changes in recent years, and thus are poorly understood as they relate to online distribution. Originally, short films could not be online. Then, they could be online as long as they had previously qualified. Now, under the latest rules (current as of July 2018), short films are eligible for Oscar consideration if they win an Oscar-qualifying festival regardless of previous online distribution. The relevant rule (emphasis ours):
The film must have won a qualifying award at a competitive film festival, as specified in the Short Film Qualifying Festival List, regardless of any prior public exhibition or distribution by nontheatrical means. Proof of the award must be submitted with the entry. The Short Film Qualifying Festival List is available at
www.oscars.org or may be obtained from the Academy. (Rule III.A.2)

From the beginning, the PBS Short Film Festival (originally named PBS Online Film Festival) has been a platform and partner for promoting short films from independent filmmakers that are presented by public media partners and PBS member stations. Many of the films cover social issues that traditional film festivals tend to shy away from.
To accommodate all schedules, we currently offer a variety of online full-time and part-time film workshops. Full-time and part-time online workshops that are longer allow students to gain more hands-on experience and training, as these students will have the opportunity to execute more in-depth projects. Beginners will gain foundational filmmaking skills and knowledge and more advanced students will have the opportunity to refine their craft.
