One World - One Week - One Festival
295 Screenings in 115 Cities across 4 Continents in One Week
Film lovers in Poland set to join audiences in 114 cities around the world for one cause…To judge the Finalists in the 11th Annual Manhattan Short Film Festival!
The Manhattan Short Film Festival announced the twelve set to screen across four continents between the 21st and the 28th of September. Film lovers in Poland will have the opportunity view and vote on the next generation of filmmakers when the Festival screens at the Kino Pod Baranami in Krakow on September 28th at 7.00 p.m.
This year’s festival exceeded expectations with 429 entries from 42 countries. The resulting 12 films are set to screen 295 times in 115 cities in one week - from as far north as Saint Petersburg, Russia to as far south as St. Kilda in Melbourne, Australia - during the last week of September.
The best short film and winner of the 2008 Manhattan Short Film Festival will be determined by the global theater-going public. After each screening, audience members can vote for their favorite film. The votes will be tallied and sent directly to the Manhattan Short headquarters where the winner will be announced in New York City at 10 p.m. on Sunday, September 28, 2008.
“In 2007 three of the finalists went on to screen at the Sundance Film Festival in which one won, another was later nominated for a BAFTA, while another went on to receive an Oscar Nomination. We are expecting similar results if not better with this year’s crop. The films are simply outstanding”, said Festival Director Nicholas Mason
Screening on September 28th at 7.00 p.m.!
