One of our favorite annual traditions! Join other film lovers who will unite in over 500 venues worldwide to view and judge the work of the next generation of filmmakers from around the world at the MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival. MANHATTAN SHORT is the only film festival of its kind. 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.
