Dec 9, 2022 - Last night Super Shorts Los Angeles Film Festival celebrated the closing night of the 2022 edition. Out of almost a thousand submissions, an eclectic selection of 39 independent short films were selected to be screened at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute.

​

Festival host and manager Maarten Cornelis was more than pleased with this year's event. "SSLA celebrated its second year back at the Marilyn Monroe theater in West Hollywood. As our film festival is gaining worldwide attention, we were so happy to present local LA films combined with an array of international films. Thanks to the quality of the work, our festival is becoming one of the top short film festivals in California. I can’t wait to see what next year will bring."
