    Introduction

Moviemaker Magazine’s top “Coolest Short Film Festival” and the Largest Short Film Event on the East Coast.



Recently named the “Coolest Short Film Festival” by Moviemaker Magazine, the 15th DC Shorts Film Festival and Screenplay Competition is the largest short film event on the East Coast of the United States.

In 2017, we screened 170 films from 30 countries in 17 unique showcases that played over 11 days to a total audience of 9,000 people. We also hosted a table read of six screenplays, and awarded the winner an incredible prize of $2,000.

As we have done since 2003, after programming is announced, ALL ENTRANTS RECEIVE A REPORT WITH THE REVIEW COMMITTEE'S COMMENTS (must opt in). We believe that filmmakers deserve to understand why their film or screenplay was selected or rejected — and what that process entails. On our submission website, DC Shorts spells out the entire selection process, and offers resources to research the types of material we are most likely to program.

===> WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND REVIEWING reviewing our processes, FAQs, past festival catalogs and other materials at dcshorts.com
