The SeaShorts Film Festival 2023 is set to take place at the new creative arts venue C-Space, Central Market in Kuala Lumpur from Oct 20-22.

Titled "Tanam Padi", meaning planting rice in Bahasa Malaysia, this seventh edition of the festival will examine how the short film ecosystem in the region has evolved since the festival was established in 2017.
