MANHATTAN SHORT is the only event of its kind. The Final Ten screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period\, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. By virtue of their selection by MANHATTAN SHORT\, each short film is automatically Oscar-qualified. \n\n\n\nThe Final Ten MANHATTAN SHORT finalists hail from eight countries with films from Scotland\, Czech & Slovakia\, Spain\, Australia\, Finland and Lebanon\, alongside two films each from France and USA. These Final Ten Films represent the best short films from among 870 submissions from 70 countries received by MANHATTAN SHORT for 2022\, testimony to the enduring vibrancy and creativity of short films worldwide. \n\n\n\nIf the 10 short films presented by MANHATTAN SHORT have one common theme\, it’s how people deal with adversity in its various forms. Short films like The Blanket\, Freedom Swimmer and Freefall explore how individuals react when caught up in large-scale\, traumatic events. Adversity on a more personal level is the focus of short films like Warsha\, Fetish\, The Big Green and Love\, Dad. Sometimes\, the response is laughable\, as in Save the Bees and The Treatment\, especially when even the universe seems to be against you\, as in Don vs Lightning. \n\n\n\nHow these stories are told is varied as the directors that tell them. In short\, there is plenty of drama and comedy interwoven with surprisingly effective newer ways of storytelling like animated documentaries. \n\n\n\nMANHATTAN SHORT also is a showcase for rising-star actors and recognizable favorites like Disney stalwart Peton List and Scotsman Peter Mullan\, himself a prize-winning director\, appearing in unexpected\, talent-stretching roles. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nThe MANHATTAN SHORT Final Ten are: \n\n\n\nDon vs Lightning (Scotland) \n\n\n\n Love\, Dad (Czech & Slovakia) \n\n\n\n Save the Bees (USA) \n\n\n\nThe Treatment (Spain) \n\n\n\nFreefall (France) \n\n\n\n Fetish (USA) \n\n\n\n Freedom Swimmer(Australia) \n\n\n\n The Blanket (Finland) \n\n\n\n Warsha (Lebanon) \n\n\n\n The Big Green (France) URL:https://cstpdx.com/event/manhattan-short-film-festival/ CATEGORIES:film ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://cstpdx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/mahattan-short.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220920T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20220920T213000 DTSTAMP:20260526T001200 CREATED:20220706T033515Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220918T214149Z UID:10000537-1663702200-1663709400@cstpdx.com SUMMARY:Tracer DESCRIPTION:World premiere and benefit event for the theater!
