Let's see the shorts and vote in the Manhattan Short Film Festival.

The Ten MANHATTAN SHORT Finalists hail from seven countries with films from Spain, Irael, United Kingdom, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Mexico, alongside three films from the USA. "These ten short films bring a much-needed positive energy to the world!" says Nicholas Mason, founding director of Manhattan Short Film Festival.

The MANHATTAN SHORT Final Ten are:
Em & Selma Go Griffin Hunting (USA), Al Fresco (Spain), Chasing the Party (USA), Paradise Man (USA), We Have Sinned Before You (Israel), I Have My Reasons (United Kingdom), Ovary-Acting (Norway), Beyond Silence (The Netherlands), Zodiak (Belgium), Passarinho (Mexico).

The MANHATTAN SHORT 2025 line-up screens a worldwide line-up of 10 short films that explore a wide range of topics relevant to everyone. Have a look at both dramatic and comical takes on migration, reconciliation, housing prices, parenthood and the price of silence, not to mention the trials and tribulations of growing into adulthood, especially when fantastical and dangerous griffins fly overhead and you have an OMG murderous mother. And what is it about golf anyway? Audiences will find it more difficult than ever to vote for Best Film.
