The
9th Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival
 Experience
the most creative short films in the world and vote for your
favorites in this “Mini Filmic Olympiad”. Last year audiences
in 54 venues in 32 states across the US weighed in with their
votes – this year the audience will be expanded to Canada and
Europe as well. Come be a part of the largest short film festival
in the world! With past finalists from the Festival’s eight

general public.
