The The Mary D Fisher Theater in Sedona is also joining in the festival. It has listed the following dates for showing the festival movies: Friday 9/27, Sunday 9/29, Monday 9/30, Tuesday 10/1 and Thursday 10/3.
The festival involves the showing of ten short films from around the world that are simultaneously screened in over 400 cities spanning six continents during a one-week period, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by the total ballots cast by the audiences in this Oscar-qualified film festival.
The 10 Manhattan Short films hail from seven countries with films from Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Iran, three films from the United Kingdom, and two films from the USA. These 10 represent the best short films from among 1,250 submissions to the festival from 70 countries.
Festival organizers write that “the range of film genres includes intimate dramas; spine-tingling tales; a car that feels a part of a family; and a film about an apocalyptic future as part of the Manhattan Short program.”
