Landmark's E Street Cinema (Metro Center, 555 11th Street NW)
Watch 10 films from around the corner and across the globe. More than 150 filmmakers are planning on attending the festival weekend -- so this is a great opportunity to meet the creative people behind the movie magic. Tickets are $12 and are available at the TICKETS page on http://dcshorts.com

OPENING PARTY

The opening night party is a great chance to meet other filmmakers and your audience. Complimentary Stella Artois and delicious nibbles will be passed around for your convenience. DC Shorts' official band, "Omega Band" will play throughout the evening. You must have a valid ticket stub from the opening night screening, or an unused ticket to another festival screening to be admitted.

BEST OF DC SHORTS
Can't make a specific screening? Was the show you wanted to see sold out? You have a second chance to see the best of the festival at Best of DC Shorts screenings which will be presented Sunday through Wednesday at the E Street Cinema. Of course, we will not know which films will play until after the awards ceremony, but the list of films will be posted online at http://dcshorts.com Sunday morning.
