The 3rd Annual DC Shorts Film Festival will be lifting off next week September 14 through September 17 with main screenings taking place in the East End’s own Landmark E Street Theatre and two showcase screenings occurring at the Canadian Embassy. A number of film festivals take over screens every year in Washington including the DC Independent Film Festival, Filmfest DC and the Guerilla Film Fest. DC Shorts looks to be a well organized affair with 94 films making the cut this year and trophies in various “best of” categories will be handed out at the end of the festival. A number of sponsors are involved this year including the Downtown BID, GoDCGo (a DDOT initiative), the DC Film Alliance and other corporate sponsors.
After the Opening Night Screening, the festival will kick into high gear with a party at Drinx (601 F Street, NW, in the Verizon Center) on Thursday, September 14 from 9:00pm to 11:00pm. The event will allow film enthusiasts to meet the visiting filmmakers in a relaxed atmosphere. Clips of the films will be projected onto the walls, and Omega Band, a local favorite and offical band of the festival, will perform live for the guests. The Opening Night Party is open to anyone with a valid festival ticket and all pass holders.
Ticket information can be found here. Come out and support independent film !

I have worked tirelessly for the past 3 years to keep the festival in the Penn Quarter — and this year with our expanded program — we wil cover more of the city — PLUS host more than 150 filmmakers from as far away as Singapore to our neighborhood.
