28th Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival
Join 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 28th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.
ONE WORLD - ONE WEEK - ONE FESTIVAL
Finalists will become eligible to enter the Oscars 2026
Every Film Selected for MANHATTAN SHORT 2025 will be Automatically Qualified for the Oscars of 2026. MANHATTAN SHORT does a full week's run at a cinema in Hollywood which is advertised in the LA Weekly. This advertised run automatically qualifies each film for the Oscars. In 2024, four of our Finalists were Short-Listed for the Oscars of 2025, with two films being Nominated including the eventual Winner "I'm Not a Robot".
If making short films is about getting your work out there…then nothing quite compares to MANHATTAN SHORT.
