Film lovers in Danbury will unite with an audience of over 100,000 film buffs, across six continents, when the MANHATTAN SHORT FILM FESTIVAL returns to The Palace Danbury.

MANHATTAN SHORT is not a touring festival! It’s a celebration that occurs simultaneously across the globe, bringing great films to great venues and allowing the audiences to select their favorites.

Ten short films selected from entries from around the globe will screen across the world for one week. Audiences vote for the one film they think is best.

The festival is a showcase for new voices and perspectives.  These films will screen in over 400 cities across six continents during a one-week period. The judges of these films are you, the audience. On entry into The Palace you will be handed a ballot card that allows you to vote for the BEST SHORT FILM  and BEST ACTOR. Votes will be sent to Manhattan Short’s headquarters and the winner will be announced on Monday October 9th . The directors and actors anxiously await your decision.
