Event Information
ONE WORLD – ONE WEEK – ONE FESTIVAL
Join us on September 26, when over 100,000 film lovers in over 500 cities across six continents gather for one reason…to view and vote on the Finalists’ Films in the 27th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival when the film festival returns to The J in 2025.
MANHATTAN SHORT is more than just one of the largest short film festivals in the world today, it is the world’s first and only global film festival where you get to have a say!
Ten short films selected from over a thousand entries around the world will screen in venues across six continents for one simultaneous week only.
Audiences at each venue are handed a voting card and asked to vote for the one film and actor they think is best. Votes are sent through to Manhattan Short HQ who announce the winner’s shorty after.
The J will even send out an email to let you know the results!
Every Film Selected for MANHATTAN SHORT 2025 will be Automatically Qualified for the Oscars of 2026
With finalists from previous years going on to be nominated and even win the Oscar in the short film category, MANHATTAN SHORT is a wonderful opportunity to see the next generation of feature filmmakers from around the world.
Always a fantastically curated collection of thought provoking and inspiring and sometimes very funny short films.
“The World’s most people powered Film Festival.”
Recommended 15yrs+. Possible strong language, violence and adult themes.
