Established in New York City in 1997, the MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival receives more than 500 entries from over 40 countries each year. Ten entries are selected as finalists in the annual event and are then packaged and distributed to participating theaters. Audiences from around the world unite not only to view the films, but to vote on them as well.
The MANHATTAN SHORT 2024 line-up is linked by a common theme: how we face adversity, whether it is imposed by others or arises from personal circumstances. The 10 short films in the program feature narratives that are dramatic, sometimes humorous, occasionally magical, and always inspirational! The 2024 Final Ten are: The Talent (UK), I’m Not a Robot (The Netherlands), Mother (Ukraine), Dovecote (Italy), Pathological (USA), Alarms (France), Favourites (Australia), The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent (Croatia), Room Taken (Ireland), Jane Austen’s Period Drama (USA).
Winners will be announced by MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival on Monday, October 7.

*All 10 films will be shown on each of the three dates (Friday, September 27 / Sunday, September 29 / Monday, September 30). Films are not rated but are intended for adult audiences.
This event is free, and reservations are required.
