Another edition of Manhattan Short Film Festival will take place on Sunday, October 8, at Kino Pod Baranami. During this global celebration of short film, viewers in Cracow will see the 10 finalists of the festival, and together with the audiences around the world they will vote for the best film.
Manhattan Short Film Festival is the only film festival in the world, that takes place simultaneously in over 300 cinemas, on 6 continents, where hundreds of viewers can decide which short movie will be chosen as the champion.
The festival began in 1998, when its founder Nicholas Mason screened 16 short films on a screen mounted to the side of a truck on Mulberry Street, Little Italy, in New York City. A year later the Festival moved uptown to Union Square Park in New York City. Finalists' Films have been judged by panels of celebrity judges including Susan Sarandon, Eric Stoltz, Laura Linney, Roger Corman & Tim Robbins. Soon afterwards, the "You Be the Judge!" concept was implemented - the judging of the films was handed over to the public. It was a huge success and continues until today.
After the screening each viewer can vote for one film. The result of Krakow’s vote will be sent to the central office in New York and the final decision of the global public will be announced on Monday, October 9, on the official website of the MANHATTAN SHORT and Cinema's website.
MANHATTAN SHORT is a wonderful opportunity to see the next generation of feature filmmakers from around the world. It brings over 100,000 film-lovers from all corners of the globe together for one purpose of celebrating the magic of cinema.
This event is never going to be seen on Cable TV, Video on Demand or anywhere else, so if you don't catch it at your local cinema...then you missed it.
MANHATTAN SHORT Founding Director Nicholas Mason
The films will be presented in original versions with English subtitles.
