Manhattan Short Film Festival 2024 - Warners Bay Theatre

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.

Ten short films are selected from entries from around the world and will screen in over 500 screens across six continents during one week. Audiences at each venue are handed a voting card and asked to vote for the one film they think is best. Votes are sent through to Manhattan Short HQ and the winner is announced the following day.

Every film selected for MANHATTAN SHORT 2024 will be automatically qualified for the 2025 Oscars. In the last three years at least one film from the MANHATTAN SHORT's Oscar qualifying screenings has gone on to be nominated for an Oscar.
