2008 Manhattan Short Film Festival

Presented by Wexner Center for the Arts

The Wexner Center is proud to take part in this international extravaganza of short film viewing.

Between September 21 and 28, 12 remarkable short films from around the globe will screen to an estimated audience of over 40,000 people in 150 different cities spanning four continents in the 11th annual Manhattan Short Film Festival. Audience members in every city-as far north as St. Petersburg and as south as Melbourne-are handed a voting card and asked to vote for their favorite film. Then on September 28 in Manhattan, the winner of the worldwide audience voting will be announced. The short films are sure to go on to find great acclaim: of the 12 screened in the 2007 edition, one was later nominated for an Oscar, another was nominated for a BAFTA (British Oscar), and three screened at Sundance, where one won the Best International Short award.
