DC Shorts Film Festival

About This Event

The DC Shorts Film Festival and Screenplay Competition is the largest short film event on the East Coast. In our 9th year, we are showing 140 films from 27 nations - and expect hundreds of filmmakers and thousands of audience members mix, mingle and explore the art of short cinema.

DC SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL
During the film competition weekend (September 6-8), will screen the films in 18 unique 90-minute showcases - all followed by Q&A sessions with the filmmakers. After the competition weekend (September 9-16), we will re-screen all of the programs, culminating with the special "Best of DC Shorts" screenings on September 15 and 16.

DC SHORTS SCREENPLAY COMPETITION
Join us on Friday, September 14 to see actors perform a table reading of our six screenplay finalists. After the performance, vote for your favorite, and the writer wals away with a $2,000 prize! Celebrate at the complimentary wine and cheese reception that follows.
