"In the Palace" International Short Film Festival (in bulgaro: Международен фестивал на късометражно кино В ДВОРЕЦА) è un festival cinematografico divenuto, nel corso delle sue quindici edizioni, un festival di grande prestigio in Bulgaria. Presenta ogni anno cortometraggi di diverso genere e stile, purché non superino i 27 minuti. Nato come festival per studenti la cui prima edizione si tenne a Velingrad, dal 2015 diviene itinerante e si sposta nelle città di Sofia, Veliko Tarnovo, Varna e a Balčik, sul Mar Nero, dove si chiude con la cerimonia di premiazione.

L'obbiettivo principale del Festival è trasmettere e contribuire allo sviluppo dell'arte cinematografica contemporanea in Bulgaria, in Europa e nel mondo; questo scopo è perseguito attraverso la creazione di un ambiente favorevole alla creatività e alla condivisione tra differenti culture a partire dall'organizzazione stessa del festival - che si avvale di giovani volontari provenienti da tutta Europa - e di una piattaforma rivolta sia a filmmakers emergenti che a professionisti affermati.

Il festival "In The Palace" è organizzato da Format SFF Foundation e Community Centre Veshtina in collaborazione e con il supporto della Città di Sofia, il Ministero Bulgaro per la Cultura, il Centro Cinematografico Nazionale Bulgaro, il Palazzo Nazionale della Cultura e l'Università di Sofia "St. Kliment Ohridski”. Il festival ha carattere competitivo, comprende le sezioni professionisti internazionali e nazionali e studenti internazionali e nazionali; ogni sezione è divisa nelle seguenti categorie: fiction, documentari, film d'animazione e film sperimentali. Le opere partecipanti vengono selezionate da un comitato di esperti e valutate da una giuria internazionale. Ad ogni categoria viene assegnato un premio.

Oltre alla competizione, durante il festival, sono organizzati degli eventi collaterali come workshops, seminari, conferenze, corsi di regia, cinematografia, sviluppo dei progetti cinematografici, digital art, postproduzione.

Concepito inizialmente come un evento per film prodotti da studenti, viene organizzato la prima volta nel 2003 a Velingrad. Dalla seconda edizione si è trasferito a Balchik, sulla costa bulgara del Mar Nero. Qui la sede del festival era il complesso architettonico chiamato “The Palace”, in precedenza residenza della regina rumena Maria di Edimburgo. Dal 2015, per via della sua crescente popolarità, l'evento principale è stato spostato a Sofia, in dicembre, per poi proseguire a Veliko Tarnovo, Varna e Balchik.
