Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Short Film

The Africa Movie Academy Award for Best Short Film is an annual merit by the Africa Film Academy to reward the best short films for the year. It was introduced in the 4th Africa Movie Academy Awards, but no film was rewarded because the jury didn't deem any of the nominee fit for the award. No submitted film was nominated for the award in 2009.
