Manhattan Short Film Festival
MANHATTAN SHORT 2025 is the only event of its kind!
The Final Ten selections for the 28th Annual Short Film Festival screen simultaneously across six continents between September 25 and October 5, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. Have a look at both dramatic and comical takes on migration, reconciliation, housing prices, parenthood and the price of silence, not to mention the trials and tribulations of growing into adulthood, especially when fantastical and dangerous griffins fly overhead and you have an OMG murderous mother. And what is it about golf anyway?
Ballots are supplied upon entry. Audiences will find it more difficult than ever to vote for Best Film and Best Actor; their picks will be announced at ManhattanShort.com on Monday, October 6th, 2025.
