The annual DC Shorts Film Festival begins in just a few short weeks, and this year the showing is going to be bigger than ever. The eleven day festival now boasts four locations in the DC Metro area, making the festival the third largest festival dedicated to short films in the country.

Over 145 short films from 23 countries will be shown, the most the festival has ever screened, all of them with a run time of under -20 minutes. Screenings will be held at Landmark’s E Street Cinema, H Street’s Atlas Performing Arts Center, US Navy Memorial Theater, and for the first time, the Artisphere in Rosslyn, Virginia.
