Manhattan Short Film Festival 2025

The 28th Annual

MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.

ONE WORLD – ONE WEEK – ONE FESTIVAL



Join us, when 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.

Upon entry at all participating venues, festival attendees are handed a Voting Card and an Official Program and asked to vote for the ONE Film and Actor they feel should win. Votes are tallied by each host venue then emailed to our NYC headquarters.

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.
