Manhattan Short Film Festival
September 30, 2023 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The 26th Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival is a worldwide event taking place in over 500 venues across six continents between September 28 and October 8, 2023, screening in Portland, Oregon at The Clinton Street Theater on Saturday, September 30th.
Ten finalist films will screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by audiences in each participating venue. By virtue of their selection, each short film is automatically Oscar-qualified.
The ten finalists hail from eight countries with films from Australia, Afghanistan, Finland, Iran, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Canada alongside three short films from the USA.
This year’s theme is how we face adversity, whether it is imposed by others or arises from personal circumstances. The Final Ten short film selections feature narratives that are dramatic, sometimes humorous, occasionally magical and always inspirational!
The ten finalist films are:
Sunless (USA), Voice Activated (Australia), Yellow (Afghanistan), Tuulikki (Finland), The Family Circus (USA), Career Day (USA), Snail (Iran), The Record (Switzerland), The Stupid Boy (UK), Soliel Du Nuit (Canada).
