Every week, we present a selected short film for free on our digital platform. This unique, unrestricted access allows our audience to discover previously unseen memorable narratives.
Our mission is to champion cinema that challenges, provokes, and transforms. Sixteen Film Institute serves as a bridge between groundbreaking filmmakers and curious audiences, fostering a community where experimental narratives, unconventional storytelling techniques, and marginalized perspectives find their voice.

We meticulously scouts the world's most prestigious film festivals—Cannes, Berlin, Sundance, Venice, and Toronto—to discover exceptional works that embody artistic excellence while challenging conventional narratives. This rigorous selection process from international showcases ensures every film in our collection sparks meaningful cultural conversation.
Sixteen Film Institute has cultivated an exceptional ability to identify and champion emerging filmmakers before they become household names, transforming promising talent into recognized directorial voices.
Our track record includes early support for visionaries like Haley Elizabeth Anderson, Antoneta Alamat Kusijanović and Meryam Joobeur, whose distinctive storytelling approaches we recognized and nurtured from their earliest works.
Founded in 2016, Sixteen is an artistic platform embracing the power of storytelling through photography, cinema and music.
Twice a year we publish Sixteen, a magazine to keep and collect. With candour we combine the work of rising voices and recognised masters to defy the creative status quo and provoke interrogations. We are an evolutive podium of ideas for our audience to get inspired, challenged and amazed.
