Mednarodni festival kratkega filma z naslovom "In The Palace" () je eden izmed največjih in najprestižnejših festivalov filma v Evropi, na katerem se predstavlja veliko različnih stilov in žanrov filmov, ki trajajo do največ 27 minut.
Festival se je začel leta 2003 v mestu Velingrad, nato pa so ga leta 2015 zaradi njegove rasti in popularnosti prestavili v Sofijo. Prvi del v Sofiji je potekal v decembru, nato pa se je festival prestavljal še v Veliko Tarnovo, Varno in v Balchik. 14. izvedba festivala se bo odvijala v štirih mestih. Začetek bo v decembru v Sofiji, festival se nato v aprilu in maju preseli v Veliko Tarnovo, od maja do junija v Varno, končal pa se bo v juliju ob obalnem mestu Balchik, kjer se bo odvila tudi zaključna prireditev.
Glavni cilj festivala je predstaviti in prispevati k razvoju sodobne filmske umetnosti v Bolgariji, Evropi in po svetu, in ustvariti ugodno okolje in platformo za mlade filmske ustvarjalce in uveljavljene strokovnjake. Organizacija temelji na mladih prostovoljcih iz številnih evropskih držav.
Program Festival organizira Format SSF in skupnost Veshtina v partnerstvu in s pomočjo občine mesta Sofije, bolgarskim ministrstvom za kulturo, bolgarskim centrom za film, državne palače za kulturo in sofijsko univerzo "St. Kliment Ohridski".
Festival je tekmovalnega značaja, v katerega je vključenih več mednarodnih, državnih in študentskih tekmovanj. Sodelujoče filme določi posebna komisija, katere nato oceni mednarodna žirija. Za vsako posamezno kategorijo obstaja tudi vnaprej določena denarna nagrada.
Tradicionalno, znotraj festivala potekajo tudi razna usposabljanja, seminarji, predavanja, mojstrski tečaji za režijo, kinematografijo, razvoj filmskih projektov, digitalne umetnosti, post produkcijio, PR in kvalificiran trg za krake filme.
Zgodovina Festival je bil sprva zasnovan kot forum za študentske filme. Prizorišče festivala je arhitekturni park "Palace", ki je nekdanja rezidenca britanske princese in romunske kraljice Marie Edinburške.
