Press Release:
WASHINGTON—The DC Shorts Film Festival is back for a sixth year and is now expanding to two venues – Landmark’s E Street Cinema and the U.S. Navy Memorial’s Burke Theater. There will be ten different showcases, each featuring approximately two hours of films lasting from one minute – 27 minutes. There is something for everyone, including dramas, comedies, animation, sci-fi, documentaries, and creative, experimental films. During the week, 100 films will be screened from 15 countries. There will also be many free events throughout the week of the festival.
Filmmakers from all over the world are attending the DC Shorts Film Festival. They are not only coming to Washington to see films, but also to learn from each other. Moviemaker Magazine included DC Shorts as one of the “25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee,” because of the direct feedback and overall experience given to filmmakers. And, this year, The Washington City Paper readers voted DC Shorts the best festival in D.C.
DC Shorts encourages filmmakers to attend the festival by providing housing, meals, city tours, and passes to all events at no cost to the visiting filmmakers. For this reason, filmmakers from around the world thrive to compete in this festival, not only for prestige and for the hope of winning, but for the true sense of community that is created each year. The DC Shorts Film Festival turns the spotlight on truly independent short films, creating a dynamic mix of new and established filmmakers.
