Manhattan Short Film Festival

You can be part of a worldwide film festival at the library! MANHATTAN SHORT is the only film festival of its kind. Film lovers will unite in over 500 venues worldwide to view and judge the work of the next generation of filmmakers from around the world when the 25th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival takes place during September 22 to October 2, 2022. The Final selections screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period, where attendees vote for Best Film and Best Actor awards at each participating venue.
