The Manhattan Short Film Festival returns to Salida for the 2021 edition. The festival features 10 finalists who were selected from 960 entries from 70 countries. Now community members will get to choose which of the final 10 is best in their opinion.

On September 29 and September 30, the SteamPlant will host the festival with the same package of films screened on both nights. Some topics featured in the shorts might not be suitable for all ages due to graphic content.

The films begin at 6:30 p.m. with doors to the theater opening at 6:00 p.m. A cash bar will be available. Tickets are nine dollars and can be purchased here or at the box office.

These films will screen in over 400 cities on six continents from September 23 to October 3. The judges of these films are the audience. On entry, participants will be handed a ballot card that allows for a vote for the best short film and best actor. Votes will be sent to Manhattan Short’s headquarters and the winner will be announced at 10:00 p.m. EST on Sunday, October 3.
