For one week this fall, over 100,000 film lovers will gather in over 500 cities across six continents for one reason...to view and vote on the ten short films (18 minutes and under) in the 28th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.
MANHATTAN SHORT is not a touring festival; rather, it is an instantaneous celebration that occurs simultaneously across the globe, bringing great films and great artists to great venues and allowing the audiences to select their favorites. All films selected in MANHATTAN SHORT 2025 will be eligible to enter the Oscars in 2026.
