This event showcases 10 short films selected from hundreds from around the globe!

Afterwards, we’ll get together for a bite, a drink and to chat about the shorts! Here are complete details for this year’s event: ABOUT THE FESTIVAL: THE MANHATTAN SHORT is the only event of its kind! This year’s Ten Finalists will screen across the world during a one-week period. Finalists are selected from hundreds of films submitted from across the globe with the winner determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. Winning films will be announced after the festival and I’ll send an announcement to the group! All of this year’s finalists will be eligible in the Short Film categories at the 2026 Academy Awards. THIS YEAR’S FINALISTS: This year is extra special because for the first time in its history MANHATTAN SHORT has selected ten films from ten different countries, with films from USA, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Moldova, Russia, Cuba, Georgia and Mexico! Films include everything from comedy to drama, action to animation, and everything in between! 2026 TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOdETuNe6E0 2025 MANHATTAN SHORT WEBSITE + DETAILS: Click here for more information about this one-of-a-kind festival and to learn more about his year’s finalists: https://www.manhattanshort.com/finalists.html PLAN: We’ll plan for mid-afternoon showing and will meet in the upstairs lobby about 30 minutes before showtime!
