Film lovers world-wide will unite in over 500 locations between September 28 - October 8 for one reason... to view and vote on the ten Finalists Films in the 26th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival.

The Finalists will screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. By virtue of their selection by MANHATTAN SHORT, each short film is automatically Oscar-qualified.
