RSS FeedDC Shorts Film Festival Starts This Weekend
One sure sign that fall is approaching every year is the appearance of the DC Shorts Film Festival. This is the 8th year for the festival as it brings 145 films programmed into 17 unique 90-minute showcases showing at four venues. Although the festival runs from September 8th through the 18th, the primary weekend for showings is this upcoming weekend, and in our neighborhood the Landmark E Street Cinema at 11th and E Street will be the primary performance venue. Other venues include the Navy Memorial (701 Pennsylvania Ave NW), the Artisphere in Rosslyn, VA (1101 Wilson Blvd), and the Atlas Performing Arts Center (1333 H St NE). There are also three ticketed parties being put on by the organizers at local venues.
To get a sense of what’s showing, there’s a film sorter depicting thumbnail images for all 145 films that allows you to click on any image to see a film description and filmmaker information with some thumbnails having trailers and previews also. You can sort the thumbnails by different categories such as country, interest, genre, and Showcase number.
Best of all, for PQ Living readers there is a neighborhood discount! Enter the code PQLIVING11 as a part of the online ticketing process and receive $2 off the purchase price. We’ll see you at the festival!
