Film lovers in Charlotte will join over 100,000 film enthusiasts around the world Sept 30 - Oct 1
when the 25th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival screens at the state of the art
Northwest School of the Arts Theater featuring stadium seating, digital projection and
enhanced sound system.

The Final Ten screen simultaneously across the world during a one-week period, with the Best
Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating
venue. By virtue of their selection by MANHATTAN SHORT, each short film is automatically
Oscar-qualified.

Introducing the MANHATTAN SHORT Finalists of 2022
The Final Ten MANHATTAN SHORT finalists hail from eight countries with films from Scotland,
Czech & Slovakia, Spain, Australia, Finland and Lebanon, alongside two films each from France
and USA. These Final Ten Films represent the best short films from among 870 submissions
from 70 countries received by MANHATTAN SHORT for 2022, testimony to the enduring
vibrancy and creativity of short films worldwide. All Final Ten short films become Oscar-
qualified.

You Be the Judge!
Which of these Final Ten short films is the best? That's up to a worldwide audience to decide.
Cinema-goers across the United States and around the globe will become instant film critics as
they are handed a ballot upon entry that allows them to vote for the Best Film and Actor.
MANHATTAN SHORT is the ultimate audience award that salutes the creative talents of both
directors behind the camera and actors in front of it. Votes will be sent through to
MANHATTAN SHORT HQ with the winner announced at ManhattanShort.com on Monday Oct
3, at 10AM EST.
