63 Short Films Will Play Across 11 Curated Blocks + 11 Additional Shorts Will Screen with Features
Short film announcements started rolling out on social media this week, including announcements for thematic blocks including Human + Nature, Fine Line and Late Night. In addition to these curated blocks, the festival will also screen local shorts, music videos, and shorts that will play in tandem with feature films.
“Our shorts program continues to demonstrate that a more constrained runtime is no limit to great storytelling,” said Director of Programming Selin Sevinç. “These filmmakers are pushing boundaries, exploring identity, confronting social issues, and celebrating the human experience in ways that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.”
