The Nordic-Baltic Shorts Network was founded in 2010 by eight festivals with a mission to deepen the cooperation between Nordic film festivals. The aim is to strengthen the position of Nordic short films by collaborations and networking, by exchanging information and ideas. Since the inception, the three Baltic nations have been included in the cooperation and expanded its reach.

Nordic-Baltic Shorts Network is supported by Nordic Culture Point.

Main goals and activities:
• Cooperation platform for Nordic & Baltic short film festivals
• Promotion of Nordic & Baltic short film
• Seminars and discussions
• Travelling screenings North in Shorts
