Named “one of the coolest festivals in 2022” by MovieMaker magazine, Shortsfest takes place each spring. We feature some of the most groundbreaking filmmaking from around the world, showcasing short films that range from comedy to drama, documentary to experimental. Filmmakers are invited to present their films in an intimate and interactive setting.
