Washington, DC – With its recent dubbing as “Coolest Short Film Festival” by MovieMaker Magazine, three-time winner as “Best Film Fest” by Washington City Paper, and recognition as one of the largest short film events on the East Coast, DC Shorts Film Festival heads into its 11th year with intent on becoming an industry player. Out of the 1400 submissions, the event will screen 135 films from 25 countries, all selected by 100 volunteer reviewers. The 11-day event will include film screenings, Q&As, filmmaker workshops and parties in five different locations throughout DC and Fairfax, VA, as well as online, through the DC Shorts Online Film Festival (Powered by Vimeo).

FILMS: Films range in subjects and genres but all are shorts, 2 to 30 minutes long. This year 17 unique, 90-minute film showcases will screen something for everyone including a mix of dramas, animation, sci-fi, comedies, documentaries and experimental films. Filmmaker Q&As will follow all Sept. 11-13 screenings.

SPECIAL SCREENINGS & WORKSHOPS: There will be several special film screenings including Free Family Shows, Free Lunchtime Shows, a Spanish Shorts Showcase, an LGBT Shorts Showcase, a Super Shorts Showcase (time travel and superhero-themed films), and the Best Of DC Shorts Showcases. Films will be screened at Landmark E Street Cinema, U.S Navy Memorial’s Burke Theater, and the Angelika Film Center in Fairfax, VA. DC Shorts will also present workshops for filmmakers of all skill levels.

SCREENPLAY COMPETITION: Returning this year will be the DC Shorts Screenplay Competition where the audience is privy to a table reading of 6 selected screenplays for which they will then vote. The audience-selected winner receives $2,000 to shoot their project and automatic entry for their completed film to screen at DC Shorts 2015.

PARTIES: DC Shorts Film Festival would not be complete without their parties, celebrating filmmakers and audience members alike. Tickets for the opening night weekend, City View Party (at Carroll Square) and the Grand Bash (at U.S. Navy Memorial) will feature great views, light refreshments and special drink selections. Attendees must be 21 years of age or older.
