for the Largest Audience-Driven Short Film Collection in the
U.S.
EARLY BIRD DEADLINE IS JANUARY 30, 2011
Enter now, pay the lowest fee, and wait to send your film
until the materials deadline in May!
DC Shorts showcases the largest audience-driven collection of short
films in the USA. DC Shorts gives all entries feedback from the
judging panels -- a point which impressed MovieMaker Magazine to
name us as "one of 20 festivals worth an entry fee," and "one of
the leading film festivals" in the country -- year after year!
Plus, in filmmaker surveys, DC Shorts consistently ranks as one of
their favorite festivals to attend.
 The DC Shorts Film Festival (September
8-15, 2011) turns the spotlight on truly independent short films,
created by new and established filmmakers in an era when the art of
filmmaking is opening to all. We select films of every genre and
niche for our competition screenings - with a special focus on
films created by metropolitan Washington, DC-based directors and
writers. After each screening, filmmakers have the opportunity to
speak to the audience as part of a moderated panel. Cash and gift
prizes -- plus feedback for all entries.

 The DC Shorts Screenplay Competition
(October 2011) is a very different kind of screenwriting
competition. A panel of judges consisting of filmmakers,
screenwriters and critics will review and provide coverage
(feedback) for scripts of 15 pages or less. 5 - 7 finalists will be
featured during ScriptDC - a weekend of screenwriting events for DC
regional writer and filmmakers, where their scripts will be read in
front of a live audience - and one will walk away with $2,000 to
shoot their project!

In 2010, DC Shorts reviewed more than 800 films and 125 scripts
from around the globe. We selected 97 short films for screenings in
9 unique showcases during the competition weekend. We also read 6
scripts in a special live presentation. Since a major focus of DC
Shorts is the inclusion of filmmakers, many of the films and all of
the scripts were represented by the more than 120 filmmakers and
writers from 8 countries. More than 5,200 people attended the
competition screenings, and another 2,200 saw films repeated during
the week.
