Film lovers world-wide will unite in over 500 locations between September 26 - October 6 for one reason…to view and vote on the ten Finalists Films in the 27th 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.
This unique festival will also take place in Liepāja, Ventspils, Kuldīga, Cēsis, Valmiera, Jūrmala, Sigulda, Daugavpils and other Latvian cities from September 26 to October 6. In the festival program, before the screening of the international short films, there will be an opportunity to watch the winning film of the BALTIC FILMTALES short film festival for children and youth.
Films are shown in English and original language with Latvian and Russian subtitles. Age of visitors – 12+
