For one week this fall over 100,000 film-lovers will gather in over 300 cinemas, universities, and museums spanning six continents for one purpose: to view and vote on the ten short films (18 minutes and under), that are finalists in the annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.
Established in New York City in 1998, the MANHATTAN SHORT receives over 600 short-film entries from over 45 countries a year. Ten of these entries are selected as finalists.
You be the judge! Audiences from around the world are given the opportunity to unite not only to view the films, but to vote for the ONE film they think is best. Votes are tallied at each venue and sent through to MANHATTAN SHORT headquarters in NYC where the winner will be announced on Monday, October 8, 2018. MANHATTAN SHORT is, quite simply, a collection of some of the best short films currently screening in the world today.
