What Is Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival?
TISFF's International Competition presents short films created through schools, universities, and professional institutes. For 2026, a school representative could submit up to three fiction, documentary, animation, experimental, or hybrid films made in 2025–2026, each no longer than 30 minutes. Entry was free. Screeners had to be downloadable through Vimeo or YouTube and include embedded English subtitles plus a separate English SRT file.
The 2026 submission deadline was February 23, and the festival ran June 23–30 at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque. Awards ranged from NIS 2,000 to NIS 24,000, subject to festival changes. A separate Young Creators/High School Competition showcased films from Israeli high schools, but its page does not publish an independent open application. The next cycle, deadline, eligible production years, awards, and high-school selection route have not been announced.
